Free GM Resource: Villains and Vigilantes Supplementals

 

Last week I was at an undisclosed location where I may or may not have been interviewing for a new job closer to family.....

This week I figured I'd make up for it by pointing out a whole category of freebies from Fantasy Games Unlimited for their game Villains and Vigilantes.

If you haven't played Villains and Vigilantes before, it's a Superhero RPG that's on version 2.1 (which you have to get elsewhere, BUT it is on sale right now on DriveThruRPG ) This page of Free GM Resources is all about V&V, but I cannot seem to find a link to this page from the home page or the V&V page....go figure.

The freebies consist mostly maps and encounters, but there is at least one scenario and some NPC products. If you buy the game for (what is now) $7.50 and then grab the freebies.....you'll have a bit to play with at a decent overall cost.

One thing I'm always on the lookout for is some free art for use in future projects. Now I prefer to grab old illustrations from books that have long gone out of copywrite, but that can be a lot of work.

Today's Free GM Resource is Pixabay, which is a collection of free images and royalty-free images. Now there are a few sites with free art, but few seem to have all the features that Pixabay has: easy search with parameters, clear marking of licensing/usage rights, and the ability to tip the "creator" of the original piece.  

For Example:

Free GM Resource: B/X D&D Character Generator (with a Twofer Labyrinth Lord Generator)

 

My current flavor of RPG I've been playing is some good ol' fashioned B/X D&D.  Been with my current group for a couple of years.....I think. Between the COVID-19 quarantine and work, I'm not always sure it's 2021....well I know it's 2021, but was last "year" 2020, 2019, or something like 2017......well definitely not 2017 since I moved to Oklahoma in 2018.

Anyway I'm always on the lookout for not just stuff I can promote on the blog, but use in my personal life, like this handy-dandy B/X D&D Character Generator. It'll populate a new PC for you when you load the page, but toggle through the options across the top of the page and hit the rather small "Create Character" button and voilà.....one new B/X PC.

It's based off of a Labyrinth Lord generator (there's a link at the bottom). That LL generator has a PDF generator at the top, while this one doesn't have anything for printing.....if you use the B/X generator and print from the browser it, well it isn't the best, but if your reduce the size you can get everything to one page.
