Random Tables

Random Table Time!

(Last Updated May 6th, 2011)

I’ve been a fan of random tables since… well… forever it seems.

And I’ve been writing them and posting them here. However, typical of most blogs, I lose track of my own creations on here (and routinely lose track of other people’s awesome creations because blogs are rarely organized like websites and for those of you out there who create awesome game content they SHOULD be). Some of the tables have made it into Dyson’s Dodecahedron, but since I’m currently posting one a week, there should always be more tables on the blog than in the ‘zine.

Here are the random tables and generators I’ve written for D&D-style fantasy games:

• Banners & Standards
• Beggars
• Brigands, Bandits & Highwaymen
• Curses of many kinds
• Festivals & Holidays
• Fountains, Magical & Mundane
• Houses of Ill Repute
• Lost Cities
• Megaliths and other Strange Stones
• Pirates & Baccaneers
• Polearms
• Potion Containers
• Racial Subtypes
• Tattoos
• Things Found in a House of Ill Repute
• Tournament Games for Tourists
• Treasure Map Destinations
• Undead Special Abilities

Other Random Tables:

• Trivial Vehicle Hit Locations (any modern RPG)
• Vampire Clan Distribution for Sabbat Cities (Vampire: the Masquerade)
• A Xenomorph May Be Involved (Star Frontiers PC race creator)
