Roleplaying Games

Several years of RPG have made me a somewhat RPG-geek. Not that I see something wrong with that (though others might). I find roleplaying very facinating, and have done many kinds of RPG, all the way from pen'n'paper, computer games to Live Action Role Playing (LARP).

Tools

Various forms of RPG need various forms of tools. Some advanced forms such as Rolemaster need more advanced tools, and good tools are much to help, while other, simpler systems, like FUDGE have less need for tools. On these pages I have collected tools I have written, as well as tools I have found useful.

It might be necessary to download OpenOffice.org to run these tools, though Open Documant formats should be available on most office tools.

    • Samurai - Background information for running a samurai campaign, or a brief summary of its history and culture for other purposes
    • Scotish Clans - Highlanders
  • Nomadic Tribes - Such as the Lap people in northern Scandinavia, the beduins in Arabia, and many indian tribes all over America
  • Theocracy

Maps

While working on OpenStreetMap I got the idea to make an OpenFantasyMap project, where users could freely make detailed maps from various settings, and share alike between other role players. The maps can be of settings with flat territories, or of planets, and they can also vary between times (such as Middle Earth, devided in First Age, Second Age, Third Age and Fourth Age). The map editor program Merkaartor allows the user to make his own style files for marking of objects, and the maps can be stored in several formats, including OSM XML (OpenStreetMap native XML). If somebody want to help me and have the resources of a web server that can run an apropriate database and API, please contact me.

I will also include links to completed maps or other maps shared.
