Dungeon Weird: Randomosity
A couple of nights ago I was feeling kind of down and exhausted after a busy, difficult couple of weeks of life and work, and feeling creatively drained. So I did that thing you do when you're down, I made some random tables.
The purpose of the Dungeon Weird: Randomosity Table is to generate cool, weird bits for your campaign.
To use the table, roll 1d20 on each column. Take two of the three words generated, mash them together, and create something weird.
Light | Twilight | Dark |
1. Honey 2. Top Hat * 3. Giggling 4. Pearl 5. Moon 6. Heart 7. Surgeon 8. Starlight 9. Glances 10. Operatic 11. Snow 12. Sponge 13. Roses 14. Perfume 15. Unicorn 16. Sparrow 17. Poet 18. Silk 19. Pilot 20. Jack-in-the-box | 1. Stalactite 2. Fangs 3. Mandrake 4. Mushroom 5. Bandaged 6. Root 7. Tattoo 8. Dripping 9. Stockings 10. Chitinous 11. Frozen in amber 12. Fingernails 13. Petrified 14. Hair 15. Eagle 16. Rhinoceros horn 17. Sewer Engineer 18. Fisherman 19. Operating theatre 20. Naga | 1. Leech 2. Brain 3. Rotting 4. Rust 5. Eyeball 6. Spider 7. Wound 8. Oozing 9. A black cat 10. Odd-shaped shadows 11. Vampire 12. Lice 13. Tears 14. Murder 15. Walled-up 16. Zombie 17. Millipede 18. Chimney Sweep 19. Pickpocket 20. Troll |
Here's what I cam up with in a few rolls:
Surgeon - Fisherman - Zombie
A guild of bizarre fisherman/surgeons working by the magical principle of sympathy. They immerse you in a pool of tears, then hunt down your dreams and fears when they manifest in an underground lake of similar composition. They also look creepily like golems.
walled-up - Dripping - Surgeon
When a fisherman surgeon is kidnapped by a crime lord to perform an illegal operation, the walls of the lords dungeons being to weep tears and blood due to the magical radiation the surgeon has absorbed in plying his trade.
Silk - Lice - Operating Theatre
The fisherman surgeons primary competition is from the Guild of Seams, who create stunning tapestries by using highly trained silk-producing insects. The same insects can be directed into wounds to stitch up internal ruptures.
