When wandering in the wilderness anything could happen! Start out by deciding on an appropriate level of danger, then roll a d100 on the appropriate table below. Take the result and roll on the indicated table(s) to finalize the encounter.

If a Settlement is rolled up, you can create a village, town, or even an underground city if you are up for it. I have plans to release a settlement generator, so keep your eyes peeled!

So Many New PDFs

Hey everyone, I’ve been churning out PDFs and posting them to drivethrurpg.com over the past week. I’m only going to post on the various RPG subreddits once per week about my stuff (I don’t want to spam everyone!), so I’ll be highlighting different PDFs as time goes by.

For now you can check out what I have available by clicking here.

Weird Shit Generator (Fantasy)

This post is available for FREE (pay-what-you-want) as a high-quality PDF – CLICK HERE

This series of tables are meant to be used together to create very strange objects, creatures and places, reminiscent of the objects, creatures and places in the SCP Foundation. If you are unfamiliar with it, I would recommend checking out the website here as it is filled with hours and hours if very interesting reading material! Either way, the tables below will help you create some really fucked up shit to confuse, intrigue, and even terrify your players.

The below “mad-libs” style sentence will help you understand your random results. Whenever you see a [bold] word in the sentence, it refers to the random table of the same name. All you have to do is roll on that table and insert the result into the sentence at that point!

This [type] comes from [origin] and is made of [composition]. It reproduces or
grows via [reproduction / growth]. It [special property] and [special property].
It [verb] and it [verb].

Remember, not every part of the above sentence needs to be included in everything you generate; maybe this thing doesn’t reproduce / grow, maybe you don’t find the verbs at the end helpful, etc. Use these tables however you want to!
