SCK Redesign Wireframes Hi all, In the interest of better scalability and data sharing, I've decided to consolidate the individual B/X Tools into a single interface I'm calling the Sandbox Construction Kit (SCK).

The updated wireframe for the Settlement Generator is shown above and in addition to the more consolidated display, you'll see some functional improvements as well:

Treasure Generator Hi all, Quick note to let you know that I've broken out a free version of the Treasure Generator, which you can access here: The tool lets you pick a treasure type, generate a hoard, and spit out the hoard's gold piece (i.e. XP) and encumbrance values. The free version lets you copy results to your system's clipboard. Full version of the Treasure Generator is found in our Foes & Fortunes tool, available free to our Worldbuilder tier members. As always, thanks for your support! -Erin

Severian (character) - Wikipedia

I never realised this was a real thing. The executioner protagonist of Gene Wolfe's "Book of the New Sun," carries a sword called "Terminus Est" (this is the place of parting) whose blade contains a column of hydrargyrum that adds extra weight on the downswing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severia...

Hard question. GAZ 2 and 13 are strong contenders, but GAZ12 The Golden Khan of Ethengar would be my favourite. Great primer for including steppes nomads to one's setting, and loved the shaman class.
