Things I built to run my own games, collected in one place for reference. Take what is useful.
✦
System-agnostic — useful whatever you are running.
Turns text into a weathered handout: carved marble and sandstone, bronze plaques, clay tablets, burnt letters, water-stained papyrus.
Pick the medium, the script — Roman capitals through blackletter, runes, and cuneiform — then age it with chips, cracks, lichen, burns, and fading, or paint the damage on by hand. Export at 300 DPI, transparent for a virtual tabletop, or as a PDF.
Open
A shop your players can browse. Build magic items with their own art, price, and rules text, gather them into a store, and hand the players the link instead of reading a list aloud.

Type a phrase and get back pages of scrambles of it. Good for hunting a hidden name for a riddle, or for filling a cipher handout with something that rearranges into the real answer.
OpenFour Horsemen is my worldbuilding game, in the vein of The Quiet Year: the table writes the history of a world one age at a time.
Draws the deck the game runs on. Each card is the next age to befall the world, the calamities shuffle themselves in as you play so nobody knows which turn one arrives on, and every age drawn so far stays listed beside the deck.
The full deck list is there too, behind a spoiler warning, for whoever is running the table.
OpenNew World is my homebrew game — a colonial-era fantasy setting with its own rules, so these only make sense at that table.
Rolls a New World check: choose the stat, set the value, dial advantage or disadvantage up and down, and the dice tumble out with the result and every die that went into it.
