Cartoforge drops the 'Dungeons' moniker of its sibling to go beyond mere dungeon adventures, including symbols for scifi, modern, outdoor, castles, and more. Cartoforge doesnt stop at additional symbols though, smart tools for forests, mountains, and deserts are also available, as well as the addition of a number of gamemaster tools. Here are the highlights: Beastiary An expandible set of creature templates, you can use to generate random cast member stats on the fly when you need them, as well as provide a reference of creature descriptions, special attacks, etc. Random Map Generator Cartoforge includes a Geomorph based random map generator. Create any number of 12x12 symbol mini-maps and the random map generator uses them to create random maps on the fly. It comes setup for dungeon maps, but is user expandable for caverns, scifi deckplans, outdoors, etc. The possibilities are endless. Die Roller A simple die roller for those times when you need to roll without the players knowing. Select the # of dice, # of sides, and any modifier and roll the results. supports coin toss, and fudge dice with word representations of the results as well at 4,6,8,10,12,20, and percentile dice. Gamemasters Journal A dated journal not tied to any adventure, lets you record play session dates, important events for your gaming group, etc. Gamemaster/Player Text All fields now have separate 'player' or flavor text fields, which the new desktop software can selectively output in your exported adventures. Desktop Software The Desktop software from Cartoforge: Dungeons has been enhanced for use with Cartoforge and is now included with the product, instead of requiring a separate purchase. Cartoforge is now available for download from our website, so feel free to check it out for yourself. It uses different databases from those used in CFD so it wont effect your existing CFD adventures. Cartoforge retails for $29.95 (download) or $34.95 (retail) and is now available for evaulation and purchase.
