Shit ton of mundane tables

I’ve had some weird bursts of midnight productivity. My birthday is coming up and I’m planning a marathon DnD session as my celebration, which means I’m polishing up a bunch of projects and half-finished mind-scribblings to a usable state, a lot of which you will see here in some form or another. (In particular note, you may be seeing PJS for the first time, MARROW version 0.1, and an adventure of some sort.)


Today’s dividend is a series of tables. Randomly generate an occupation, ancestry, outlook, and starting (noncombat) equipment. You can make a whole character with these! Perhaps more is to come soon, like weapons and armors and more outlooks, but I am satisfied with these for the time being. These are not meant to be insanely creative or gonzo, just perfectly usable and workable for me.

  1. These are nifty! The magic items list are evocative, do any of them in particular have mechanics attached?

    1. Oh my god is the Armour of the Stellar Mariner an astronaut's spacesuit????

      Delete
    2. Not yet! The goal was to create a list that was flavorful, yet simple enough to improvise mechanics for. Perhaps one of these days I'll go through and figure out some mechanics and Classes to associate with this Loot.

      I was thinking Space Marine power armor! But that's also really cool! I'm glad to see my list is already inspiring ideas that aren't my own...
