Or use the voice clips as audio clues for your players to realize certain NPCs have sidequests to offer. Worried sighs from middle-aged soldiers at the bar could lead your heroes on an adventure to reclaim a prized helmet, and an excited “wow” from a nervous new recruit reading a book in the barracks could start a quest to turn those young men from zeroes to heroes!

Gee-kun-soft has painstakingly recreated their MZ generator part for MV, meaning you can finally give your characters a dream makeover! With 42 parts that include accessory, hair, eye, and clothing options, this pack is here to help you find the perfect pieces for each of your female characters.

20 different clothing options cover all sorts of possible personalities and classes. Dress your mages in caped outfits or two-tone asymmetrical dresses, while the party’s dancer captures the enemies’ attention with her moves in her body-hugging crop top and pants! Top the outfit with one of 5 accessories to really tie the look together.

Dark stone and tile floors can be broken up with bottomless pits, but don’t despair! Web autotiles may let your heroes cross safely, as long as they can avoid the sticky sections. Decorative pools of water can break up the monotone rooms with bright points of blue, or keep the creepy atmosphere going with black or red liquids in those pools instead. Fill large rooms with stairs and ladders to hard-to-reach areas (at least, hard-to-reach for non-spiderfolks) where statues and treasure chests carved from stone can be found. Stone pillars that you can top with red jewels or more spider king statues can lead the way to the throne room, where a raised platform stands alone in front of a window made from red glass. As if that wasn’t enough, this pack includes extra spiderwebs to make sure the dungeon looks like no one but spiders have been here for ages! Create a haunted manor where vampires live or a palace ruled by a dark spider king with the KR Legendary Palaces - Arachnid Tileset!
