Tools for procedural generation of content for tabletop role-playing games

Welcome to Iron Arachne!

This site lets you randomly generate content for tabletop role-playing games and other fictional works. I'm always tinkering with it, so come back every so often to see if something new's been added.

My name is Ben, and I'm the author of this site and all of the tools on it. You can find my personal website and blog at benovermyer.com. Sometimes I'll write about what I'm working on for Iron Arachne over there.

If you find this site useful, please consider buying me a coffee.
