Hadn't thought of the site in a while, but there was a time I was there frequently. Janx Hero. I used them for my 2e games. I suppose somebody in the know might be able to track him down in NY which is where part of the name came from. I got the sense the owner wrote a bunch of scripts. Tried to tie in book sales like to amazon , and kind of left the site up forever, until it got taken down.

I use this one email or non hamete virtual dice server - a die roller online. SiderisAnon said:. Are you referring to the basic maps they had there? As I remember, most of them were listed as generators, but really only had or so actual maps. Digging through my old stored stuff, I found that I actually have a bunch of their maps stored. I also have Tavern maps saved. I have no idea why I wonder if there's some way to post those up with the archived Irony Games site?

If the situation is humorous or innocent, such as when the character does something hypocritical but does not know it yet , then celebrate the irony and let the players in on the joke so everyone can have a good laugh. Dice irony occurs when the least favourable roll turns up at the most inopportune time. Perhaps a character fumbles during a called shot.

Or maybe the worst possible random effect is rolled, such as a character growing twice in size while trying to hide. Celebrate dice irony when it occurs. Give the player a sympathetic pat on the back after a fumble roll, or do a happy dance to mock the players when an NPC beats the odds.

If you have difficulty spotting or creating irony, start by looking for contrast. You can practice this in real life and at the game table by first getting a big picture view of any given situation, and then imagining its opposite.

For example, if the PCs are in the middle of a deadly combat, the opposite would be peace and negotiation. How could you morph the concepts of peace and discussion into a planned combat encounter so that it becomes ironic? Keep these words and concepts in mind to help you conjure up irony. Another key skill in creating or finding irony in any given situation is to spot a pattern and then look for the break in that pattern. The PCs hear gossip that leads them into trouble, strangers approach with help requests, or conflicts arise amongst the regulars that the PCs can help with.

The pattern is that adventures normally start in the tavern, so the break in the pattern would be to start the new adventure elsewhere. To make the break ironic, you could mislead the PCs to look outside the tavern for their next adventure, while the adventure seed turns out to be in the tavern the whole time.

Conflict fuels the stories in movies and books, and they should fuel your adventures as well. Irony is a great way to create conflict at many levels at your game table in such a way as to avoid hurt feelings and arguments that other kinds of conflict can create.
