And its just the first of many publications to come!
Why did we create this resource?
Two reasons!
First, passion. … As a longtime game master, writer, and artist, I’ve always been thrilled to create!
When it comes to building worlds for players to explore and thrive, or for telling a compelling narrative, much of the excitement comes in when you begin filling that world with people. Seeing what kind of colorful and storied individuals populate its cities, villages, wilderness, and roads truly make the experience of worldbuilding come to life. There is a sense of realism and magic that it bestows to imagine flesh-and-bone individuals occupying homes, making a living, raising families, creating and maintaining communities, and even exploring its vast landscape on their own quest of truth.
Second, is value! … I’ve always been driven towards creating things that don’t simply inspire myself or help the site, but provide an active value to the TTRPG community, and the broader ecosystem of creators and world builders at large.
Making random name generators for the site began as a fun add-on, providing options at the click of a button. It quickly spun into a game-changer for the site, grabbing the attention of thousands of viewers, and tens of thousands of visits. It made me feel excited to know that it was providing something of value to others on the internet that had the same sort of passions I did!
Pay What You Want!
Of course, running Chaotican Writer isn’t without expense. Thats just the tall and the short of hosting a small TTRPG site and trying to build it into something amazing! … Also, the internet is filled with resources for tabletop enthusiasts, some paid and some free, and everyone has a different financial situations.
Which is why I’m offering this publication as Pay What You Want!!
$2 … $5 … $10 … Bricks of gold? … FREE? … Its up to you!!
(And if you do decide to, thank you so much for your support!)
