This is a table of 120 generic events, including everything from weather to quests to enemies.
Rolling twice against the table allows for a distinct narrative to be created, with the combinations creating over 6000 possibilities.
For example, if we roll 1, 7, that gives us Environmental Challenges – Drought.
Rolling again, we get 6, 12, which gives us Mission Offered – Find Missing Person.
So you tell the players something like this:
A terrible drought has befallen the land. It’s been weeks since the last rainfall and not a cloud in the sky. Mayor Mainott is at his wit’s end. However, he believes that the legendary shaman, Misty Waters, may hold the key to solving this crisis. The only issue is that Misty went missing several months ago and no one knows where she went.
Conversely, the very same roll could lead to a story like this:
As you relax at the local tavern, a hooded figure pulls up a chair to your table. The table falls silent as he speaks in a hushed tone. “My name is Aeon Mageblood. I need the help of brave adventurers such as yourselves. My daughter, just 8 years old, has gone missing. I fear that she has ventured into the Desert of Zin alone. Her supplies of water couldn’t amount to much more than a few flasks. I fear that she heard the legends of the Desert Unicorn and went to seek it out on her own, against my wishes. Please, will you help me? I can reward you handsomely.”
And of course you can probably think of several more as well.
What would you do with You Witness Mischief – Animal Blood Sport and Something Happens to All PCs – Suspiciously Abandoned Valuable?
How about You Witness Excitement – Holiday Festival and Something Happens to a PC – Mistaken Identity?
Even when not allowing for repeated d6 rolls, using the table in this way allows for 6000 different combinations. The possibilities are truly endless.
