While The Game Master's Book of Astonishing Random Tables is not a wondrous item, you'd be forgiven for assuming it has magical properties. That's because within these pages are countless adventure hooks - side quests and travel complications and chase sequences and skill challenges and other encounters suitable for any environment. And that's just one section. These table results aren't just short line listings of random answers either. Inside, you'll find rich, fully examined results and supplemental pieces of text that provide you with all the information you need to use them effectively. With this book by your side, you can develop an entire campaign setting, its pantheon, its various continental forms and proclivities of its population. From the big questions ("Where does magic come from?," "Who's in charge?," "Why are we at war with our neighbors?") down to the most minute detail ("Can my party avoid paying property taxes on their new keep if it's actually an instant fortress?"), this book has you covered.

Handy Resource For Adding Side Adventures
submitted by BookNerd on August 27, 2023, 7:11pm
Marvelous for people building their own game worlds, and equally useful for a GM who wants to add a couple side quests to a published adventure, or fill in a weekend game night when the whole adventuring party can't be there to move the story forward.
The tables use D&D intellectual property, but it's pretty easy for GMs from other systems to swap out these copyright-protected monsters and magics. Using the new ORC license would make all your home-brewed worlds shareable with other gamers.
