Whenever a library is introduced into the game, someone always needs to know what titles are in the collection. Those of you with copies of The Dungeon Alphabet know that I've already taken a stab at addressing this referee's conundrum, yet I still managed to put myself in a position where I needed more campaign-specific titles. One of these campaigns, I'll finally learn my lesson...
Below is the complete listing of all 143 titles contained in the crates which were discovered in the sublevel of the Temple of the Goat. Most concern chemistry, astronomy, sorcerous theory, biology, botany, metallurgy, and other topic of interest for a sorcerer/self-made god-king. The total collection weights 1,000 lbs.

Wow it's the really neat details like this that I enjoy this blog so much.
ReplyDeleteYoinked! You're 100% correct - populating libraries is one of the most time intensive parts of a DM's job. I have a perfect place in one of my dungeons for this list for almost exactly the same reasons.
ReplyDeleteWhat method do you use for generating long lists like this? Random generators for a base and them tweak? (A process I've used for coin naming and creation of a campaign-specific tarot deck.) Thank you for your time and sharing.
I use Creative Mountain Games' Unlimited Titles 5, a cheap HTML/Javascript widget I picked up on a whim a few years ago. It's not the perfect app for the task, as it's very 3.5 specific in some ways, but it functions on the "blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally" principle. I weed out what I don't like and alter those titles which are close but not quite to what suits the campaign world. Then I sneak my own creations in under the assumption that the players' eyes will eventually glaze over and they'll miss the goodies with all the helpful information in them.
