Cityographer – Randomly Generate Cities for RPGs

Cityographer is a Kickstarter-funded random city generator/mapping software for role-playing games. You set up the parameters for the city you want to randomly generate using dialogue screens like this:

Cityographer then cranks out randomly generated cities based on your choices that look like this:

Cityographer was successfully Kickstarted back in June 2012. Developer Joe Wetzel is still working on finishing the program but has made a lot of progress. So far, though, I haven’t seen any indication on what the retail price of this will be for those who didn’t participate in the Kickstarter funding.

Drinking Quest

Drinking Quest combines drinking games and role-playing game mechanics.

How is it a drinking game?

After your character dies in the game, you down your drink to bring him / her back to life. There is a one drink per quest limit so it’s a drinking game you can actually finish! There are also a few other ways that chugs are added to the mix but chugging when you die really adds a sense of tension to every battle. (But know your limits and drink responsibly regardless of the rules.)

How is it an RPG?

You pick a character, have a character sheet, roll dice, buy weapons and armour and exist in a fantasy world called the DQniverse. You’ll find new takes on cliché RPG monsters and events as well some brand new creations.
