I've always had a fondness for normal distributions on random event tables, because they allow the tables to encompass events that must be quite rare, and feel slightly less like drawing a card from Community Chest. (Yay, second place in yet another beauty contest.)<BR/><BR/>I do find the inclusion of "You are accused of thievery, and you are guilty" a little off-putting, though. Everything else in the table either describes a situation that finds the character, or a natural consequence of wenching. Forcing a character to have stolen something bothers me a bit.Chris Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691319018164612005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-5523874734265844102008-11-04T14:34:00.000-05:002008-11-04T14:34:00.000-05:00What a great document, and those tables look like ...What a great document, and those tables look like a lot of fun for any system.

I'm nearly done with Red Nails (have been reading all of REH's Conan stories in chronological order (order penned)) and have been thinking that a random occurrence table, coupled with the old school 100gp / month cost of living expenses and XP / gp spent in a "frivolous" way, might add some neat spice.<BR/><BR/>Good find James.

Not sure if this is desirable or not.<BR/><BR/>I'd recommend 1d3/1d10 percentile style (1d3 for tens, 1d10 for ones).<BR/>That way all the outcomes on the table are just as likely.FuriousDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06593831395664210540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-50480894955703008022008-11-04T13:07:00.000-05:002008-11-04T13:07:00.000-05:00Oooh, good find.
