Wandering Game Books

A stray comment on RPGnet inspired this idea: the Wandering D&D Game Book Table. Roll once on the %TITLE% table every three months to determine upcoming WotC releases. (In my post to RPGnet, I used angle brackets, but Blogger doesn't like that...) Replace all-cap labels surrounded by percent signs with the result of rolls on the table(s) named.

Feel free to expand the list of titles or add additional tables. WotC will appreciate it!

  1. Startlingly accurate!

    I just might use this to name my next publication!

    Shrine... of the Horrific... Kingdom. You heard it here first!

  2. Cyclopedia of Horrific Scrolls!

    Awesome! Clearly a companion piece for the Shrine of the Horrific Kingdom.

    I'm thinking a Zothique supplement series here.
