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
