Open the tool →Tools for Wargames and Skirmish Campaigns
Tabletop games often involve more than the battle itself. You might need to name a new force, build a roster, prepare a scenario or keep track of a campaign between games.
These tools are designed to make some of that preparation quicker. Most can be used with other tabletop games as well as Thrackdown, whether you are putting together a one-off skirmish or running a longer campaign.
- Naming forces and organisations: generate names for warbands, factions and gangs
- Building Thrackdown warbands: choose fighters and equipment while the Warband Builder checks your Thrack total and roster requirements
- Managing campaigns: track fighters, equipment, XP and battle results between games
- Preparing scenarios: generate missions for one-off battles or linked campaigns
- Developing campaign ideas: add objectives, complications and narrative hooks to future battles
Tabletop Name Generators
Warbands, gangs and factions can overlap depending on the game, but they usually suggest slightly different kinds of names. A warband is typically a small fighting force, a gang tends to feel rougher or more territorial, while a faction usually represents a larger organisation or culture.
Choose the Warband Name Generator, Faction Name Generator or Gang Name Generator depending on what you are creating. If none of those labels quite fit, try all three and use whichever gives you the right feel.
Built for Thrackdown, Useful Beyond It
Thrackdown is a free post-apocalyptic skirmish wargame, but many of the tools here are system-neutral. The name and scenario generators can be used for sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic and homebrew tabletop games. New to Thrackdown? Start with the free Quickstart Pack.
More generators and campaign tools will be added over time.
FAQ
What are tabletop wargaming tools?
Tabletop wargaming tools are online utilities that help with things such as naming forces, building rosters, creating scenarios and managing campaigns. The tools on this page run in your browser, require no installation and are separate from physical hobby tools such as paints or modelling equipment.
Are these tools only for Thrackdown?
No. The Warband Builder is specific to Thrackdown, including its factions, fighters and Thrack costs. The name generators, Scenario Generator and other system-neutral tools can be used 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. A gang usually has a looser, more territorial or criminal identity, while a faction represents a larger organisation, culture or political power. The terms can overlap depending on the game.
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, scenario tools and campaign utilities are planned as the site grows. New tools will be added when they are ready.
