Hey all, first post on Lemmy!

I have been a DM for years and put together a small tool that will build a random general store for you and your players! You can save the store, it will give you a link, and you can send the link to your players.

It currently gives you full control over adding items, setting prices, changing quantity and more!

Let me know what you think!

While a little off topic for a cost & scarcity standpoint, Ive found using ChatGPT is a fantastic brainstorming tool for on-the spot/ interesting shops.

I use this template for pretty good results for our settings:

Using the D&D 5th edition rules, please provide the name of the shop, a succinct description of the outside and inside, shop owner description (include gender and race), their name, and one or two unique items the players could obtain from the shop from the following prompts:

Shop themes: random

Shop specialty: Dried food

Part of town the shop is located in: outskirts of town

Thanks for sharing!

It's incredible how useful GPT is for game prep. Half my NPCs at this point are at least outlined by AI, though I never have the foresight to use a common base for the prompt, haha.
