OSR Settlement Generator

This post is about a pretty interesting product called OSR Settlement Generator. As the name suggests it lets you quickly come up with the aspects of a settlement for use in any OSR game. Like many similar products its based around a series of tables each of which makes up one part of the settlement's description, for instance: 

• How many people live here?
• How many mercenaries are available to hire?
• Are there any pubs?

There's certainly enough here to throw the outlines together in a random way that can inspire your imagination. 

But there's something different and special about this! As well as the usual PDF you also get an automated version of the product. In the package you get an HTML (web page) that you can run in your browser. Simply dragging the file out Windows Explorer and dropping it into your browser starts it up. On screen you get a button to push, and pushing it runs the generator. What I liked about this was the fact you could just keep pushing the button until you get a set of results that suit your wants/needs.

I've not seen this combined PDF/HTML option before, but I do hope to see more of it.

Edit: I see the product's been updated since I wrote the above, more tables/features added.
