I really enjoy random tables for inspiration. They are often my "go to" resource when my players zig instead of zagging, or when I need something quickly that is going to fuel my imagination. Which is why I need to work on an inspirational table for some of my blog posts.
Hmm, could even carry it over to the podcast...
All I need to do is figure out format and die size ;)
d12s seem to be covered. Dyson and the Dungeon Dozen do great d12 tables. How about a d14?
ReplyDeleteGnome Stew has a series titled The Random GM, maybe that will help or make things worse. http://www.koboldpress.com/k/front-page17283.php
ReplyDeleted30 too small a number (sorry guys)
ReplyDeleted16 and d24 are both easier to find than d14, as far as I can tell. And easier to simulate with other dice, come to that.
ReplyDeletei'd say doing a d20 list for simplicity, d100 makes you think about filling all 100 with something different and d12 or lower just makes unintersting ones
