Just thought id pass along my website for helping out Dm's - it has a library of pre-made random generators and tools so you can make your own. The site is www.dxContent.com

Here is a list of generators to date (some are game specific and some are not)

- Dice Bag v1.2 - Simple clickable dice rolling.

- (POPULAR) City Block Generator v1.0 - Generates detailed fantasy city blocks and rural roads one street at a tiem. Includes various street types including circular and city squares. If you have a map this tool is great for fleshing it out. If you don't have a map this will tell you what needs to go on it. This generator will help you flesh out large cities and outlying suburbs.

- Old English City Name Generator - Creates authentic english sounding town names.

- Plot / encounter ideas - Generates plot and encounter ideas by giving the bad guys motivations and noting important features nearby. Most results have individual regenerate links so you can tweak results.

- Quick NPC v1.2 - Provides visual cues of the NPC's traits so as a GM you can quickly grasp how to role-play an on the spot NPC.

- Dwarf Names v1.0 - dwarven name generator.

- High Elf Names v1.0 - Generates high-elf sounding names complete with family house

- Wood Elf Names v1.0 - Earthy/tribal type names suitable for wood elves.

Generators compatible with Pathfinder:
(POPULAR) Intelligent Magic Item Add-on v1.1 - Creates an add-on package that can be added to any permanent magic item. Complete with stats, ego score, senses, powers, dedicated powers, cost, languages, etc.

- PF Starting Ability Scores (Best of 4d6) - Choose a race and class and the generator will generate starting ability scores using best of 4d6 dice results. Racial bonus are automatically applied as well as intelligent assignment of floating attibute bonuses (like the human or half orc).

- Random Magic Potions v1.2 - This will generate a magic potion from the Pathfinder core rule books.

- (POPULAR) Random Magic Weapon v1 - This will generate a magic item from the Pathfinder core rule books.

Happy to clarify the 'RP Tavern' thing, Azure. :)

As for conventions, I just realized that ours were badly in need of updating! I just spent the last hour doing so (funny how things evolve over the course of a year). I'm actually glad that I was given a reason to look them over since I have two old friends who will be joining Rumble in the Jungle within the next month. It would have been a bit embarrassing if THAT doc was outdated! ^_^;

As for character sheet/profiles, that's mostly an issue of ease of reference for the GM. If everyone's sheets are laid out the same way, it makes it much faster for me to quick-reference each player's stats. Having skills, feats, and combat info spoilered just means I have to spend longer scanning and clicking on the page to recognize the section I'm looking for.

by style I presume your referring to play style and not typing style.

As far as style, both of those are important to me actually. However, I'd consider typing style to be more relevant in the context of conventions, whereas play style is more relevant to player/GM expectations. For my group, expectations are a whole separate list. Yes, if something is on that list, it's because it came up at some point. ;)
