Willing to do some research, but don't know where to start?  Did it used to be common for you to crack a few books during the week before your gaming session, but your list of ideas has run dry? 

 

The 'Starting Points' series of RPG tools are here to help.  They provide enough information to point you in the right direction, to aid in the brainstorming process, to give you a few new 'keywords' for your internet search.  Gather information...breathe life into your RPG campaign.

 

Each of the included sections consists of 1) a Random Generator...because random generators are awesome, 2) a list of all of the data used by the random generator...because sometimes it's easier to simply choose items from a list than use a generator, and 3) a list of Role-Playing Ideas to get your brainstorming process going.

Volume 1 includes 10 topics: Abnormal Character Psychology, Famous Battles, Ancient Civilizations, Famous Explorers, Geological Time Periods, Governments, Important Inventions, Freakish Phobias and Mad Manias, Tarot, and Famous Wars.
