About Archivist Elements

Archivist Elements was created with the concept of working with any Fantasy based Pen & Paper game available. Whether you play D&D, Imagine, Pathfinder, or a different tabletop RPG; Archivist Elements is meant to make your Dungeon Mastering or Game Mastering simpler and faster.

Have you ever needed ideas for your tabletop rpg campaign? Or maybe your players have asked you questions that you weren't expecting?

"What herbs do I find in the woods?"
"Whats the weather like today?"
"What does that commoner in the streets look like?"
"What does this piece of jewelry look like?"

Archivist Elements can provide answers to all of these "elements" of your game world plus more.

We would greatly welcome any feedback about how to make this a more useful tool for your gaming group.

by Q####:

There are a great variety of tools that are not web based. That means a lot for tablet users with few wifi options and those wanting tools that arent continually sapping your phone data. (You didnt think those other apps were really free did you?)

S70%
by S####:

Easily the best random generator I've used because of the variety and detail in the content - gives way more to work with than most generators. Fully offline.

S70%
by S####:

Incredibly helpful for all kinds of story generation, from NPCs to worldbuilding. Handy for prep but also at the table.

Great overall, needs a few tweaks

Really neat app

As a GM, I love to prepare to improvise, and this is an amazing tool for those who want to flesh out everything needed in a medieval fantasy game, and then some, either ahead of time or on the spot. As an amateur writer, this is a beautiful source of inspiration for entire settings and narrative, especially when combined with template style RPGs. I'd say this is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is into crafting stories in their mind!

1) If you could give just the size of map you want. (2) Settlements are good if maybe a brief history would be great. (3) wish you had more than just taverns. Like common house, blacksmiths, general stores, xcetera. However that being said I can't complain it's a keeper and I don't mind on putting my own ideas to fill in the necessary details. After all there's alot of features that don't make it so hard to work. The app is definitely a time saver. For that thank you

V70%
by V####:

Results can sometimes be a little unusual, like, a farm village with 16 people with 90% of them being guards, but they're kind of funny to laugh at, and it generates new ones very fast. The random dungeon mapping is superb.

Great app. Even though I downloaded it for shadowrun, it is still a great tool. Love it. It would be awesome to have a cyberpunk/modern version as well.

N70%
by N####:

A boon for the GM on the go. My only qualm is that the background doesn't seem to line up with the text at times, but that is a minor annoyance.

V70%
by V####:

I bought this app and loved it, it had everything I need. But now when I opened it, it either crashes or just doesn't open.

N70%
by N####:

Well worth the money. With so many options it makes it quick and easy to create a world.

This app seems overlooked, well worth the price

Perfect for on the fly DMing

J70%
by J####:

Using it during play or during prep time, this app is amazing! If your game is going a new direction and you need to wing it, this is the app that makes you look prepped and professional. Gives the players a true feeling of freedom AND makes you look good. Best RPG app out there

Great for giveing your games a little creative boost.

Helps me fill out and create all the minor details for my campaigns and gives great ideas to work with. Super functional and kept up to date. One of the best table RPG apps out there! Would love to see the dev do more apps!

Y70%
by Y####:

Fun! It'll be great for impromptu gaming or ideas. However, if I could add my own content this would be truly amazing. Then let me bring up what I want without the randomized aspect? It becomes the best gaming app ever created.

Love the app has been very helpful in my current campaign. Keep up the good work. Hope to see more updates and apps from you. Thanks reddit DND for the suggestion.

For quick, randomly generated inspiration material and minor question answers, this app is unmatched by any of the others I have tried.

Q70%
by Q####:

I have been looking for an app like this for a while. No more rabdom internet searches for names anymore. Thank you so much for helping me immerse my players into my world more then ever.

Z70%
by Z####:

Probably one of my favorite RPG apps thus far, if not my favorite. As a GM, this app is pretty much necessary.

Y70%
by Y####:

I have been a DM for over 30 years, and I can say with no hesitation this is the best tool for a game that I have ever seen. My players are getting a taste of it tomorrow for the first time! But if you're considering getting this app... stop considering and GET IT NOW! :)

Fantastic tool for those times your PC's demand fluff that isn't prepped. It's quick, and fantastically easy to use.

N70%
by N####:

I use this all the time when my players suddenly go off where I wasn't expecting or if they finish what I had planned.

Id love to be ableto input magic items into the inventories. But I play dnd 3.5 and this is awesomely cross platorm.

Y70%
by Y####:

Waiting for my group to get back together to start using this while DMing. But just in playing around with the tools it seems great!

N70%
by N####:

I cannot overemphasize how useful this app is for GMs. Players do something unexpected and completely invalidate your planned adventure? Need to wing it with zero preparation? Hit with a terrible case of writers block? Maybe you want a completely open world - this app is your lifesaver. Other than text export, and turning some fields on or off, I couldn't think of anything I would add.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is a fantastic idea for an app, terribly named and reasonably executed. Overall, I shouldn't complain for a $1 app, but at this stage, the content is very minimal & repetitive, and the names section is almost unusably random in its cluster of unpronounceable letters. I had to run it about a dozen times to get one usable name in the 120 it generated. If this is improved by threading through more names (or parts thereof) from great lists like John Harper puts in his games, it could be great. The banners are very pretty, but once you've run it a dozen times, you've seen all the heraldry, and the rest is just hoping that a nice colour or layout will happen by chance. Some control over this would be helpful. All the ideas in here are good ones, and I look forward to improvements further into the development roadmap. Keep at it, and this could become an essential tool.

by Y####:

Pretty awesome app. I've got it on android and Windows phone. Great to generate a lot of minutiae and maybe build your campaign. The only thing I'd like to see is being able to choose the gender of the character you're generating, and/or the option to lock in stats and keep random generating the rest.

Must have for any DM.

M70%
by M####:

This app is a great companion for any GM! Will help you create almost anything on the fly, countering those pesky players who wander off the beaten path. Cant wait to see what future updates will bring.

G70%
by G####:

Such a great app. Generate the little details that really bring games to life without wasting time. Seems to have an enormous database of just about anything you might want to create on the fly.

D70%
by D####:

I cannot overemphasize how much better this app is than the competition. Players do something unexpected and completely invalidate your planned adventure? Need to wing it with zero preparation? Hit with a terrible case of writers block? Maybe you want a completely open world - this app is your lifesaver. It has almost everything you might need to tell a story on the fly while you get your players back on track. Other than import and export, I couldn't think of anything I would add.

Only generates random dungeons, cities, NPC's etc. No abbility to build your own from scratch
