A super quick character generator for 0-level funnel adventures. It all fits on one page, easy to print out and hand multiple copies to your players.

All your players need to do is roll:

  • d20 backgrounds (with starting equipment)
  • d20 hindrances
  • d20 names
  • d6 bonus qualities
  • d6 improvised weapons
  • d6 handy equipment
  • d6 HP

It includes some very simple rules, which are just the core of my homebrew system, but you could use these characters in any old school system.

Here’s the full generator as an image:
