Category Price Seller Device
Utilities $1.99 Latt Vines iPhone, iPad, iPod

features Include:

Life tracking screen for life totals, arrow counts, poison counters, player level counters, whatever you want to track you can do so. Adding or subtracting from your counts is quick and easy and does not require the use of your device's keyboard. You may hide life counter when they are not needed.

Dice rolling tool. A standard D20 is always available for use. Preset standard dice combinations are available and can be configured to roll even unusual, nonexistent dice like a thirteen-sided. Why not?

Random Name Generator for creating characters with a unique pixel art profile and short description or quote. The quotes, descriptions, and profile picture are procedurally generated.

Random Side Quests with over 250 original, imaginative quests! These are great for when your players decide to go South instead of North and you need to quickly come up with campaign material to accommodate the unplanned. They're also quite fun to read through, as many are very funny and have a personality only found in the Tartle RPG Tool.

Random Loot Generator for creating anything from potions to swords. You can use the craft button to create an item and then you may enchant the item to make it even more weird and special. There is also a treasure chest box that randomly generates up to five items at once. Some loot chests have traps!

Weather! Now you and your players will always know if it is raining in the campaign.

The ultimate goal for this app is for game masters to use it to randomly generate content for a campaign (ahead of time or during play). It came as an idea of trying to play a tabletop rpg without anything planned in advance, such that the game master is discovering the content along with the players. It doesn't have to be used in that way, but it is an option.

The Tartle RPG Tool is an on-going project developed by an indie developer with a passion for tabletop gaming. Enjoy!

I love this tool. My favorite part is the random name generator. So far I have fallen in love with several names such as: Tootsie Pockets Starbaby Cube Weeping Marmalade Crispy Pixel Mister Mooseface And many many more. You will just have to try it out for yourself!


An excellent RPG tool!

I love the quest generator! There's so many and they're open-ended enough to fit my campaign. There's also a very nice dice roller. It'll meet all your dice related needs.

Great generating app! Makes the not so creative like myself inject the unexpected into table top games captivating the table. Also it staves Borden when no one will play dnd with you.


:D

Very neat tool to generate new ideas! It's quite useful when I hit a roadblock and begin to lack in creativity for what to do in my RPG. Caught a "fez" reference in there btw haha.


I love it and see a lot of room for expansion

Yes some of the randomized items are ridiculous and lighthearted - this may turn away serious players, but the meat of the app is valuable and could revolutionize DM group play. With a bit more automation this might even allow solo delving or DM-less play with some minimal "fudging" on progression of story and such! I'd love to see perhaps some randomized dungeons. Essentially you could have this app run your games while your party simply focus on telling the stories and resolving random encounters with dice rolls! Keep it up!!!


Excellent Tool for Your Table!

Any good GM/DM knows how quickly things can go horribly, horribly wrong when your players get an idea in their heads that no sane person would think of. No matter how much preparation you do before hand, you find yourself in a tough spot and unprepared. This app helps you stay organized, and makes sure you always have an ace up your sleeve to keep the game going. I've enjoyed using this so far, and expect it to become a major part of my gaming toolbox over time!
