(somewhat shameless self-promotion). I made a thing! I’m proud of how it turned out and I think the Gauntlet would enjoy it.
It’s a random generator Android app. At the moment, it has generators for:
The Perilous Wilds,
Freebooters on the Frontier,
Stars Without Number,
Maze Rats,
and a couple others.

I love it! Especially Maze Rats and 4th Page. They are perfect!
I did find Perilous Wilds however a bit jaring. I understand its randomly generated, but perhaps with a stronger filter that checks for certain criteria before randomly generating, a more “finished” generation can be produced.
The NPC tab under Perilous Wilds was actaully really good. Not sure if its because of the choices that are generated are general enough or if you filtered, but its well done.
I would like the Dangers/Dungeons that discribe a monster within it to have stats for that monster. I feel like without that needed information, its just in the way of reading the rest of the information.
Superbe Steve! I’ll be using it at my table.
P.S.
Oops one more thing. The 1d4 under Dice Roller is missing
4 Stars!

Just tried it out — loved it!

FYI, I’m developing this as an open-source project on GitHub. You can log issues, make suggestions, monitor my progress, etc all on https://github.com/stevesea/Adventuresmith
And, since it’s not very obvious… You can click-and-hold on a result to share it via e-mail or other apps on your phone.

Robert Doe thanks for your feedback!
I find myself trying to walk a fuzzy-line with some of the PW tables. I want to give a handful of results quickly, and not be too prescriptive about which parts of the results the user picks and chooses.
I think the consistency you’re seeing in the NPC tables are all due to Jason Lutes’ brilliance, and coincidence 🙂
For monsters, it felt like rolling on the Creature tables and supplying a few details (steps 1-4 on page 42 of PW) was a good compromise. But, filling out all the other tags from the DW Monster Maker table felt like it’d be much more context-dependent on what was happening in-game, and the DM’s current needs.
But, for things like the alien world generator for Stars Without Number, it was a little easier to let early rolls affect later rolls and just follow the SWN rulebook suggestions — atmosphere affect potential temperatures, atmosphere/temps affect potential biospheres, and biospheres affect potential population
