Credits & Inspirations
Realm Keeper stands on the shoulders of the wider tabletop community. The people and projects below inspired our random tables and generators. Where a source reserves its rights, our table entries are original wording written to fit Realm Keeper — only the idea of the category is borrowed.
Table inspirations
- OSR Vaultby Casey Willis
Random-table categories that inspired several of our generators — faction motivations, noble secrets, forest / roadside / settlement encounters, trinkets, curses, crypt dressings, harmless denizens, thieves'-guild quests, and more. OSR Vault's content is all rights reserved; our table entries are original wording, written to fit Realm Keeper.
- Dndspeak
A deep well of d100 community lists across items, encounters, conditions, NPCs, worldbuilding, and roleplaying. Their category topics inspired many Realm Keeper tables — biome encounters (swamp/desert/coast/mountain/plains/tundra), NPC secrets / appearances / pocket items / mannerisms, deities, festivals, cultural quirks, settlement secrets, tavern names & patrons, epitaphs, statues, paintings, dungeon graffiti, magical fountains & landscapes, book titles, riddles, mystery / side-quest / city hooks, diseases, fortunes, strange weather, potion effects, and afflictions. Dndspeak's content is all rights reserved; every entry we ship is original wording, not copied.
- Hexroll
A procedural sandbox / hexcrawl generator whose 'whole living region at once' approach inspired Realm Keeper's world generation.
Community
- TTRPG community lists (r/d100 and friends)
Curated community brainstorms inspired our shop names & types, plot hooks, settlement troubles, NPC traits, and village notable features. Entries were edited, condensed, and reskinned for a system-agnostic, grounded tone.
Game systems

Ships as a built-in system; its region, faction, and character tables drive much of world generation. Cairn is released under Creative Commons (CC BY-SA).
