So mostly for myself but also you my few readers, I'm going to make an index of great tables and generators I've found over the years. This post will be a "living document" - I will add to it as I find new things :) At the moment this is very "Skerples heavy" (I'm a fan) but I hope that I can find/add more from other authors. I *know* I'm forgetting some important ones, which I think demonstrates the need for such an entry.
What are these goblins doing?
Never again will goblins be boring.
Goblin names
Why are you alone in this dungeon?
So your PC died and the party is in the middle of a dungeon. Should you wait till the end of the session to play again? Hell no. The party runs into your new character in the next room! But why are you here? Roll on the handy table to find out. (btw, this is a good argument for quick PC generator).
Interesting hallways
Dungeon Merchants
Interesting architectural features
Cool city/town leaders
Peasants and Nobles
Sooo flavorful!
City Features
Encounters, mapping, jobs, guilds and more!
City Generator
This is a must-read.
History generator
City bazar
What does this town/city sell in particular?
Village generator
Fantasy map generator
Starship map generator
(hey, you never know when you need a starship in a fantasy game!)
job/occupation tables
Basically this page, but specifically for jobs/occupations
minor magical items
So flavorful. Pathfinder could learn from this!
More flavorful magical items
From Bastionland
+1.5 magical weapons
Far more interesting than plain +1.
1d12 flaming swords
very, very creative, totally usable.
Magical items of the North and the Old Empire
Favorite GNOMCO products
... it's note quite a table, but there are many gems in here
Magical gemstones
Horrifically made by evil gnomes
Bargain Bin Spells
Worth a look for the entertainment alone. Good Troika material too.
Garbage potion generator
It's a gambling game too!
Dubious Wizard Generator
100 Proper Spells
99 entities you can summon
It's for the excellent GLOG summoner class, but I'm sure there are other use for these in your campaign.
God Generator
Magical Powers
Wild surges and other magical mishaps
Curses
(scroll down to see them)
More curses and spooky omens
Missions for sell-swords
You can build an entire campaign from this one table
Problems you can't fix with a sword
Some of these are more of a "room" than an adventure, but great stuff. Some definitely would work with Troika!
100 items to solve problems
100 misfortunes on the road (From UVG!)
Biological mutations and supernatural mutations and more mutations
Distant Land Generator
Deep Sea Encounters
A wondrous mixture of research and fantasy.
Lastly... just look up Yoon Suin. It's 30% tables and several of them are excellent. Drugs? Gods? Poisons? Merchant treasure? Who rules a city state, what resources do they have, what's wrong with the place? All that and more!
Edit: Not really a table, but great lists of blogs
450 blogs with descriptions! :O
