Technobabble 2
Technobabble for your Sci-Fi games and stories!
In some Sci-Fi shows and films, there is a moment where a character needs to explain to the audience or reader what’s gone wrong, often alongside a possible solution.
In another scenarios,it’s someone trying to sound smart but spouting out what is essentially nonsense.
Whatever the reason, sometimes you find need some technobabble to hand wave the problem, without becoming bogged down in the technical details.
Based on Ennead Games original Technobabble (and Technobabble Extended), Technobabble 2 takes the tables introduced in the original Technobabble, adds to it, refines it and cranks it up to eleven with more options and possible outputs!
Using the standard/default format (once on each table) can give you a possible 4,800,000,000 (4.8 Billion) combinations/outputs.
Using the extended format (twice on one table, re-rolling dupes, once on others) gives you a possible
1.4352e+12
= 1,435,200,000,000
= 1.4 TRILLION possible combinations!
Includes 20 example formats for the technobabble , with some examples for the more common combination types.
Examples of the billions of possible outputs include...
