Open the tool →Tools for Wargames, Skirmish Games and Miniature Campaigns
Tabletop wargames involve more than assembling miniatures and rolling dice. Players create forces, manage equipment, prepare scenarios and develop stories that continue across multiple battles.
Thrackdown's tools are designed to make that preparation quicker. Use them to establish the identity of a new force, organise a playable roster and develop the characters and rivalries that turn individual battles into a campaign.
- Naming forces and organisations: name a warband, a faction or a gang with the name generators
- Building legal rosters: build a Thrackdown warband with points and roster requirements checked as you go
- Managing points and equipment between battles
- Preparing scenarios for one-off games and linked battles
- Calculating dice probabilities before you commit to a risky plan
- Developing narrative campaigns that carry stories from fight to fight
Tabletop Name Generators
A warband is normally a small group of fighters assembled for skirmish battles. A gang usually has a more informal, territorial or criminal identity, while a faction represents a larger organisation, culture or political power.
The terms often overlap in tabletop games, but each produces a different naming style. Choose the Warband Name Generator, the Faction Name Generator or the Gang Name Generator to match the force you are creating, or try all three and follow whichever idea inspires you.
Made for Thrackdown, Useful for Any Wargame
Thrackdown is a post-apocalyptic skirmish wargame, but many of these tools are system-neutral. Use them for science-fiction crews, fantasy warbands, mercenary companies, wasteland gangs, narrative campaigns and homebrew settings.
More generators, calculators and campaign utilities will be added as the workshop grows.
FAQ
What are tabletop wargaming tools?
Tabletop wargaming tools are digital utilities that help players create forces, build rosters, calculate outcomes and prepare battles or campaigns for miniature wargames. They are online helpers rather than physical hobby gear: no modelling tools, paints or virtual tabletop required, and nothing to install.
Are these tools only for Thrackdown?
No. The Warband Builder is specific to Thrackdown's factions and points, but the name generators and other generic utilities work with many tabletop games and fictional settings.
Are the tools free?
Yes. Thrackdown's tabletop tools are free to use and do not require an account.
What is the difference between a warband, gang and faction?
A warband is a small fighting force assembled for skirmish battles, usually a dozen fighters or fewer. A gang has a looser, more territorial or criminal identity, while a faction is a larger organisation, culture or political power that warbands and gangs might fight for.
Can I use generated names in my own games?
Yes. You can use generated names for your miniatures, campaigns, characters and homebrew settings.
Will more tools be added?
Yes. More name generators, dice probability calculators, scenario tools and campaign utilities are planned as the workshop grows. No promises on dates: the Alpha comes first.
