Welcome to Points of Origin.
In time this page will serve as a hub for character and campaign generation. While the focus, mechanically is on the original Dungeons & Dragons published in 1974., the real meat of what we are doing is generating character backgrounds, regional cultures and making your characters leap into the campaign as fully fledged, and often unpredictable, individuals.

The background generation is workable for any edition of D&D, Pathfinder, any other OSR game or indeed most fantasy roleplaying games that do not have an exceedingly specific setting.

With time, you will also find generators that will help establish a campaign backdrop for your character to adventure in. The goal is to make life easier, more fun and ultimately less predictable for both players and GM. This is particularly suitable for a "sandbox" style of campaign where the goal is open-ended exploration.
