Eigengrau's Essential Establishment Generator, or EEEG for short, is a tabletop procedural generation tool for towns, npcs, and more. It creates paragraphs of text suitable to be read directly to the players during a game. No longer do you have to simply describe a generic, unnamed tavern as "small"- this is the sort of stuff that you can read out instead:
What It's For
- Generate thousands of unique towns for table play
- Create new plothooks for games
- Generate new NPCs to flesh out existing places
- Help new and veteran DMs come up with fresh ideas for their table
Go to https://eigengrausgenerator.com/ to see the most current live build of EEEG in action!
NOTE: The live build is often several weeks or months behind the current build here on GitHub. Compile the generator locally to see all the latest features and updates!

If you don't want to code, that's okay! The Generator is built out of a novel's worth of words, and we're always in need of more descriptions. You can find writing tasks here.
You can also find easy work to do on the generator here.
To deploy the latest version, build the html file as dist/index.html and run either npm run deploy, or yarn deploy.
