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!

To compile EEEG for local testing you will need the latest version of TweeGo and SugarCube.
# Show TweeGo knows where the SugarCube format is
export TWEEGO_PATH=LOCATION_OF_SUGARCUBE
# go to where you installed Tweego. If you installed it globally, feel free to skip this
cd $TWEEGO_PATH
# replace PROJECT_ROOT with wherever you git cloned the repository
tweego -o EEEG.html {PROJECT_ROOT}/EssentialEstablishmentGenerator --head={PROJECT_ROOT}/main.txtThis generates EEEG.html in the project root directory that you can open in a browser.
NOTE: You can save time once you've set your directories by saving that command as a .bat or .sh file.
We love getting pull requests! You can find out more about contributing to the project here.
Once you've cloned the project, remember to yarn or npm install in order to install eslint.
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.
- Twine - The front end framework
- Sugarcube 2 - A language for Twine
- TweeGo - Twine command line compiler
