It’s Dumb Table kind of week, so here’s a (not-quite) double sized table of random mash-up game ideas. Just roll 2d20-1 for a random game to run.

Dumb Tables: The Absurd Plot Generator
It’s a Dumb Table kind of week. I might convert this to a script at some point, but for the time being I’m going to do it the old-fashioned way. Just follow along and roll on each table to generate your plot. Figuring out what the elements mean is your problem. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr…
Dumb Tables: B.A.D.A.S.S.
In every con game, there’s at least one guy who wants to play the badass action hero who spouts one-liners and plays by his own rules. Sometimes there’s more than one. At some point, we were talking about this and decided we should run a game where everyone was the badass action hero who spouts…

Dumb Table: Campaign-Changing Events (Inspired by GWAR)
Note: Starting next week, the regular blog day is going to be Thursday. But for now, here’s a dumb table. Has your campaign gotten sucky and boring? One way to break out of a game rut is to throw out the status quo so the players are forced into new and unexpected situations. Here’s a…

Turns out I’m going to be working util 7 on Mondays, so I’ve tentatively moved new blog day to Wednesday. We’ll see how that works out and maybe change it again later. This week instead of a blog, I did a new random generator script, the Random Christmas One-Shot Adventure Generator. Give it a try!…
