Drakkon World Builder

This was a great find. It's an RPG helper that can be used for solo TTRPG play. There's a random map generator, dungeon generator, oracle, dice roller, notes, combat tracker, even a spotlight to put on the map to hide everything around the PC's current POV. You'll want to save often; for me (on Linux) it was crashing randomly when hitting the 'W' key, and on startup unless I immediately click on the "Load" icon in the top UI. A way to resize windows or have it so the extra modules don't encroach on the map window itself would be an improvement, as would saving the state of windows like zoom and spotlight levels so it resumes where it left off when you load it. And the ability to type in "8d12" or use weird DCC dice like d7, d16, d24, d30, etc. would be cool. Even a random city/town layout generator would fill in the toolbox. For the price, it's a must-have if you need a quick map mock-up or tracker for your campaign, or if you want to solo, there's every random generator you'll need in here. It's a customizable Donjon with a GUI.

My only complaint is I can't seem to find a way to export dungeons. Dungeons have a lot of tokens to work with, but I haven't seen any alternate tile options either. The dungeons were the biggest thing for me, it's a great way to put together a random mess of described rooms for tabletop games, i just wish I had a clean export for it.

Overall Rating: 8/10, While Drakkon is a bit unfinished and can be rough around the edges, it is an incredibly versatile and useful tool. Good Things About Drakkon: 1. Oracles and helpers for randomly generated solo campaigns. 2. A database and note pad. 3. A dedicated developer who updates the game somewhat regularly. 4. An in-depth system for keeping track of POIs and associated Dungeons and NPCs 5. Way beyond enough bang for your buck at just $3 sometimes going on sale for around $2.50 Mixed things about Drakkon 1. I believe the developer mentioned adding an overlay for different countries which is really the last major thing I need, but this isn't in the game yet so you will have to make due some other way 2. There are many different POI sprites but you have to put the POI type at the end of its name if you want a specific sprite, except for cities and towns (i.e. Blue Chapel Monument or Millitary Base Camp). I wish it was linked to something in with the adjectives, NPCs, government etc. Bad Things About Drakkon: 1. The application can close randomly if you press certain keys while not in a text box (I know that this happens if you press W but I think that there is at least…

I may have only dinked around in this for a few minutes, and then left it running for an entire day while I gushed about it to other people, or, well, gushed about it anyway. When's the last time a tool got you(me) an intentionally solitary hermit, excited enough to want to vibe and tell others about how good a thing is? Let alone, within just a few minutes of opening it? That's my endorsement, my, 'should you buy this?' It got a hermit to spend 23 hours AFK, some of which were spent raving about it. Ball's in your court now.

grate fun way to set up a map for a oneshot

Definitely worth looking into if you enjoy solo TTRPGs, the software has tons of features that make setup a relatively easy endeavor.
