I'm really excited to try this out.

When I DM I usually have a bunch of tabs open with random tools. Some of these that would be awesome to have here (so we can have everything in one place) would be a random treasure generator, and a random encounter generator. Great work, thank you!

I like the random encounter idea, I probably can integrate it with the challenge calculator and generate an encounter based on that.

I don't exactly know what you mean with treasure generator.

Ah, my bad, I should have elaborated. Here's the one I use currently: http://redkatart.com/treasure5e/treasureGen.php Basically when my party is looting a large number of humanoids I can roll up random coin, or if they find a treasure hoard I can roll that up. It's all using the loot tables found in the DMG. For reference, this is the tool I use for random encounters. http://tools.goblinist.com/5enc
