Wandering Modules

Chris at the Hill Cantons has a cliché-driven module generator, as does Jim at LotFP. This inspired me to redo and expand my "wandering game supplement tables" from here to create my own random module name generator.

As with the previous generator, any word in the result that is in ALL-CAPS surrounded by parentheses should be replaced with the result of a roll on another table. If a result has two or more terms separated with slashes, select whichever term you prefer, in any way desired. Furthermore, you can replace any word with a synonym or plural form, as needed.

  3. Wow, wish we'd seen this before we did our mash-up adventure. Maybe we can use this table for a sequel...

  4. I don't remember the Shattered Vault from my handy list of Jungian Archetypes, but it kinda seems like it should be in there.

    I don't know if I want the Scroll of the Lawful Spire, but with my wee kid on my lap my first attempt at typing that came out Troll of the Awful Spite, and if that's what the scroll produces then I think I have something to work with...
