I saw this post by the well-known blogger, podcaster and RPG great Judd Karlman. It got me thinking about random table structures, and so I wrote this: Link to PDF: Field Guide to Random Table Design in RPGs - Goblin's Henchman | DriveThruRPG.com The idea here is to consider how to...

Some people like to use random tables to spice up their games (others don't like them so much). If you do like random tables, then you might like this Hex Flower Game Engine idea. Hex Flowers are different to other kinds of random tables because they have an inbuilt 'memory', that is to say...

T’was the night before a crisp mass snowfall and nothing was stirring, except a drunken ‘potty-mouthed’ were-reindeer high on psychedelic mushrooms Link PDF Featuring: Neurotic gnomes running a clandestine psychedelic mushroom harvesting operation Candy Cane Golem Gift Wrapping Monster...

I had this idea about building a simple, versatile and useful 'game engine' based on 19-Hex Flower and a 2D6 navigation mechanic. It's like a random table, but with an inbuilt memory. I blogged about it here: https://goblinshenchman.wordpress.com/2018/10/25/2d6-hex-power-flower/ I've...

For Free RPG Day, I released a free pdf featuring a collection of 22 system neutral magic items. Hopefully most of the items are fairly original, and most have quirks! :O) Link: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/244710/The-Masters-Hoard
