The response to the random cargo generator has been overwhelming — it turns out that just about every GM has wanted something like this for years. (There’s a nice discussion on the topic in this thread on the Wizards of the Coast message boards.)

Now, in an effort to further automate your gaming experience, I’ve been fiddling around with a mobile version of the cargo generator. I’ve only tested it on a couple of mobile browsers, so if you encounter any difficulty, please take a moment to report it, either on the WotC message board thread or as a comment on this post. (I’m particularly interested to see how well it works with an iPhone, Blackberry, or other smart phone because it’s meant to work as if it were a very simple app, so if you have one I’d appreciate any feedback you can provide.)

If interest remains high, I can see myself making more of these gaming applications, and I’ll make sure I do it with an eye toward making them mobile friendly so you won’t have to carry a laptop to your game to be able to use them. (”Is that an adventure in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”)
