Alternate Realities
Since I did a table for this week’s RPG Challenge on Reddit, I’m going to cheat a little and just repost it here. The exact text of the challenge, if you’re interested: Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email

Prop, Set, Character: War!
Since we just released Aces & Apes, this week’s tables will be props, sets, and characters for games about war. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
Prop, Set, Character: Action Movies
The “Prop, Set, Character” idea is for GMs who are having trouble coming up with their next adventure. Just roll one of each and build a story around what you get. The three story elements can be connected or can be completely unrelated. You can also use these tables during the game if you need…

What If…?
Even casual comic fans are probably familiar with the “What If…?” format: change something and see what else changes because of it. Kind of like a lot of RPGs (“it’s like our world except…”). These tables give you some “What If…?” scenarios that you can use as a starting point for a modern-day game…
