The power of Tables!


Kittens, that's how I roll.

I am a big fan of random roll tables, I make them for fun.. an odd hobby, I admit. I have finished stage one (or table one, really) for the Sigil Campaign.. random planar plot hooks.
Here are a couple of random examples..

23: A hive of formians, including their queen, has moved into Undersigil. The PCs are to find out what the formians want and, if possible, how to make them go away.

75: A rival guild has attempted to steal Guild secrets and property, time for some payback on the perpetrators.

Next up is a table of random planar locations, to supplement and flesh out table one.. so, the formian have mught have originated from one of these random locations...

62: The sixth heaven of Celestia

26: The mountain of shattered bone, on the dust vortex plains of the astral sea.

The possibilities, while not mathematically endless, are pretty vast.. and with my tendency to add lib, they are effectively a bottomless bag of random missions and exotic locations.

Exactly what this campaign is all about.

Meanwhile, Gerwin is running his Warhammer 40K : Dark Heresy game at the moment, and I am quite enjoying it. The game system is D100 based, fast, efficient and quite hair raising.. If ever there was a game system that illustrates quite clearly "Never get into a gun fight at close range with no cover".. this is it.
Gerwin, although fairly fresh to running a game, is a long time player and is doing a great job in his new role at the table.
