Default Random "X" Tables

A sort of repository thread for the Random Encounter, Wandering Monster, Pocket Contents, etc. table that can be so useful when you're experiencing GM's block or trying to get something done five minutes before the players show up. (Or you're showing off some implicit worldbuilding...)

For a nice set of links to random NPC traits, contents of orc pockets, facial hair, 30 infinity rings, random curses, hireling backgrounds, wizard obsessions, etc. see http://hackslashmaster.blogspot.com/...able-when.html

For a really neat concept of curses and how to lift them, plus a random table of examples, see https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/201...20-curses.html

The Donjon https://donjon.bin.sh/

This site has a ton of random RPG generators for many genre's. Names, planets, dungeons, towns, magic shops, and more. It's a great resource for quick random stuff.

And then there's my own website GURPSLand where I have a random name generator for modern US, a basic Tavern Name generator, Cyberpunk Network generator, and most on topic for this forum a Random Dungeon Generator, written by Emily Smirle and Kyle Norton based on the Donjun Dungeon Generator but customized for the DFRPG/GURPS Dungeon Fantasy.

Perhaps as a result of a curse or dark magic or a crystal ball, a PC is visited with a frightening vision. Each of these may be an opportunity for the player to improvise and/or for the GM to add layers to the story.

Frightful Vision Table (1d6)
  1. Vision of your worst childhood memory.
  2. Vision of a betrayal by a trusted companion.
  3. Vision linked to your phobia or other mental disadvantage.
  4. Vision of things going horribly awry in the near future (trap going off, ambush, quest failure, etc.).
  5. Vision reveals that a beloved possession is cursed or malevolent.
  6. Vision of plausible mortal danger to a loved one not associated with the current quest (perhaps tempting the character to change course).
