Bored. Spent that last hour clicking on the Random Link site, bringing up random web-pages. Most are dull, some are just poorly designed or rather mundane, others are more interesting. Here are some:
Most of it was just rubbish, or broken links, and lots of political stuff for some reason. Well, that’s lost an hour of my life. Back to something constructive.
Have a good day!
After rolling for an NPCs Reaction (as normal; I’ve recreated the roll results below for ease of reference), roll on the tables to determine the character(s) motivation:
2d6 Reaction Roll:Roll 1d12 on the approprioate table below, which covers all but Neutral; since those NPCs have no opinion about the PCs one way or another:
Last night the epic year-long Star Wars campaign came to an end, with the heroes (Level 20!) blasting their way past TIE fighters into the superstructure of the prototype super star destroyer, the Sarlacc: despite taking a few hits that caused a few glitches and failures in their ship’s systems, they defeated the Imperial forces, blew up the reactor, destroyed the Sarlacc and escaped with their lives. Now they are truly heroes, celebrated and honoured, laying down the foundations for the future Rebellion.
All-in-all, it was a fun campaign, albeit a bit linear and combat heavy at times. Everyone enjoyed it for the most part, and it ended well.
And, as we had time to spare, we immediately discussed the new campaign, which starts on Monday. We’ll be playing a sandbox-styled game, D&D/LotFP rules, with three main players (a fourth comes and goes as life allows), with a main character each and there’ll be henchmen and retainers around to bolster the party.
We had time to do the basic character generation too. Rolled the ability scores, hit points, chose classes, and then had fun rolling on the B/X Headgear table, and a character background table from here. The players enjoyed that bit the most, I think, and we ended up with some interesting characters, which I shall briefly outline below: full details once the players have finished the nuts & bolts and given their characters a few details, such as names.
So, in no particular order, our three main player characters consist of:
One character has 20 sp to his name, another has none, and one is actually in debt to someone for the sum of 20 sp (which gives me a hook to dangle).
An odd, yet interesting bunch of characters. Looking forward to starting the game on Monday :)
Inspired by this post, and because I needed to make some magic items for my game, I put together a spreadsheet of 30 choice for magical weapons and armour, most loosely based on d20 feats.

Trash, garbage, rubbish, waste, call it what you will, but you can guarantee after adventurers delve into a dungeon they are going to leave stuff behind: spent arrows, discarded copper pennies, empty flasks of oil, used bottles, soiled bandages and clothing, not to mention the corpses of all those monsters they’ve slain; and when they leave, and others follow in their footsteps, these new delvers or monsters looking for a new lair, they find the things left behind by these littering adventurers.
With that in mind, here is a table (using 1d30, or roll 3d10 or whatever) to add such detritus to an empty room found in dungeons and their kin:
| 1d30 | Stuff |
|---|---|
| 1 | A hardened pile of human waste (1 in 6 chance of contamination by rot grubs) |
| 2 | Remains of a camp fire (charred sticks, ring of stones, ash) |
| 3 | Loose copper pennies (3d6) |
| 4 | Spent spell components (if used as a quick replacement, 4 in 6 chance of spell failing or backfiring) |
| 5 | Broken arrows (2d4) |
| 6 | Broken weapon (sword, spear, axe & so on) |
| 7 | Waxed food wrappings, crumpled |
| 8 | Empty oil flasks (1d6) |
| 9 | Empty glass bottles (1d4) |
| 10 | Frayed and cut rope (1d20 feet) |
| 11 | Blood-stained rags |
| 12 | Soiled leaves (2d4) |
| 13 | Snapped bow |
| 14 | Scattered flour (covers 1d10 feet) |
| 15 | Spent wand |
| 16 | Bent 10′ pole |
| 17 | Ripped sack |
| 18 | Pouch with a big hole in it |
| 19 | Charred bones of a monster (as appropriate for the dungeon) |
| 20 | Rotting corpse of a monster (whatever is appropriate for the dungeon) |
| 21 | Pile of corpses (2d4, looted) |
| 22 | Loose silver coins (2d4) |
| 23 | Cracked ceramic bowl of congealed gruel (inedible) |
| 24 | Bloodied and broken teeth (2d6) |
| 25 | Broken pieces of plate armour |
| 26 | Splintered shield |
| 27 | Dented helm |
| 28 | Loose gold coins (1d4) |
| 29 | Spent torches (1d4) |
| 30 | Roll twice |
