NPCs, encounters & loot

Three generators for the things a table always needs more of: a vault of NPCs you can reuse, an encounter builder that tells you how deadly a fight is, and treasure by tier.

Three tools for the things you always need one more of at the table. All three live in the TTRPG Realm alongside the dice roller, battle map and bestiary.

NPC Vault

Your saved NPCs, with two ways to make more: a full detailed sheet when you know exactly who this person is, or a quick guided generator that fills one in for the game system you pick. Step by step: build an NPC by hand or generate one in a single step.

The NPC Vault with a Create NPC button, explaining that NPCs can be built either as a full detailed sheet or through a quick guided generator for the game you choose.
The vault is per-account, so an NPC you invent for one table is available at the next.

Encounter Builder

Set your party size and level, add monsters — search the bestiary by name, or add a bare Challenge Rating — and the builder tells you how hard the fight actually is. It uses the 2024 rules by default (the party's Low, Moderate and High XP budgets, with no multiplier), and the 2014 method — adjusted XP against the Easy, Medium, Hard and Deadly thresholds — is one switch away. Step by step: balance an encounter.

The bestiary search follows that choice: the 2024 rules list SRD 5.2.1 creatures and the 2014 method lists SRD 5.1 ones. If no 2024 creatures have been imported yet, it shows the 2014 ones and says so.

The encounter builder on the 2024 rules, with party size and level inputs, a control to add monsters by challenge rating, a search box for the bestiary, and a difficulty panel showing the party's Low, Moderate and High XP budgets.
The 2024 rules weigh the monsters' total XP against the party's budgets, with no multiplier. The 2014 rules button switches to adjusted XP.

Loot Generator

Roll a treasure pile — gold and a few items — by tier, from a modest find upward. Useful for the chest you did not plan for because the party went left. Step by step: roll a treasure pile, or put every play tool in order with prep a fight in ten minutes.

The loot generator with a tier selector set to modest find and a Generate loot button.
Pick a tier, roll, and adjust to taste.
