Now with added NPC details!
As you may have read, I did an App!
The free version is finalised, and will only be receiving security/stability updates.
EDIT: The Pro version is now available for UNDER ONE POUND! A mere 99 pence will get you access to expanded lists, and extra categories!
What it does:
The opening screen shows the different Categories available. This will hopefully grow as more data becomes available, and feedback is received.
I may choose use coloured Icons, but the basic format should be fine.
Currently the data-sets are based around Fantasy/Medieval styles. Treasures include Ornate Goblets and Lifelike Animal Statuettes, but not Smart-Phones, or Alien Artefacts! Quests involve Rescuing the Fairy-Queen, but not flying to other planets or destroying the Moon-Sized Space-Station!
Treasures are pulled from four separate lists:
- Gems Will have a Type (Diamond, Emerald etc), and a Cut-Style.
- Jewellery/Clothing will have a Type (Ring, Earring, Belt), and a Style (Gem-Encrusted, Silver-Plated).
- Art has a Type (Painting, Sculpture, etc) and a Style (Plain, Gaudy, Cubist, Baroque).
- Coins have a Type (Gold, Silver) and a value (randomly generated between 1 and 1,000).
The app is clever enough to notice which Category the Treasure is in, and use the appropriate Icon.
Furniture is split into four categories: Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen and Lounge. Items will all have a Material (Stone, Wood, Tin), and are displayed the same as Treasures.
The new Alchemy section also follows this format, and includes Retorts, Flasks and Crucibles.
Personality takes a slightly more complex route, and calls three World Views and three Personal Ideals. One of each are Prime traits, and the others Secondary.
The Location section adds a little more, again, with each location having a descriptor, as well as guardians!
The long list of Guardians have various ways in which they protect the Location, either guarding, watching over, surrounding or holding sacred!
And now we come to the penultimate section: Quests! Different types of Quest are available, Find, Recover, Destroy, Document or even Authenticate! And Maguffins of all varieties! Flying Carpets, Dragon Shields, Saint’s Bones! Kittens! All need Hiding, Exposing, or even Protecting! Each Quest also has a Reward (taken from the Treasures list) associated with it, so our brave adventurers can assess the risk!
The last section begins quite simple, but then opens up a whole new area! Names are picked from an ever-growing list, with a 50/50 chance of Male/Female. This is simple enough. But click on any name, and you will be shown their Personality Traits, Prized Possession (Treasure), several Mundane possessions, and what Location they are seeking!
This section is currently unfinished, but should not take too much neatening up to make it Publishable, and I can add to it in later Editions! The Mundane Possessions list is already growing significantly!
EDIT: I have also added a section for Desserts! All of your favourite fruit (plus a few you may not have heard of!) in pies, cobblers, crumbles and fools! Infused, sprinkled, drizzled and layers with your favourite (mostly cream-based) toppings!
So, if you are ever stuck for inspiration, why not download the Random Lists app from the Play Store! Who knows what Wonders await you?
Or even splash out on the Pro Version! Only 99p!
