D.A.R.T (DarkDvr's Archive of Random Tables)
A downloadable asset pack
Took a long time, but here it is. My compendium of oracles & random tables that I use for my games.
Features:
- Supports both Medieval Fantasy ("Old Tech") and Sci Fi ("New Tech") settings.
- Multi-level structure: roll at any level of ambiguity and only as deep as you need. One example (each step is rollable): Game setting? -> Is it a planet? -> What type? -> Population size? -> # of Settlements? -> Settlement type/name? -> Settlement overall purpose? -> Settlement current problem? -> Opportunities? -> Local leader title? -> His name? -> His attitude? -> His relationships? -> Quest plot hint? -> Quest plot twist? -> etc.
- Everything is categorized, with color-coded sections at the top of the page, pages are numbered and hyperlinked.
- Add you own tables during play: almost all pages have extra tables ready for you to type in your game-specific list
- Free & open-source: no Patreon, and MS Word source file is uploaded for you to change to your needs. Just please don't claim you've made it, be nice.
- Easily printable and light on the ink. Don't want SciFi stuff? Just don't print "new tech" pages.
- No bla-bla-bla, no full-page images. Just tables. One section per page.
- Name generator tables use the format of prefix + suffix, which gives 400 possibilities (some name tables have 1600 possibilities).
Fun stats:
- There are 73 pages, each has 3-6 tables. Each table has 20 values. Yep.
- Around 7,000 (you read that right) carefully chosen, thematic values total.
What info is in this thing?
Too much to list. But major categories are (for both Medieval Fantasy and Sci-Fi settings):
- Locations, Discoveries, Landmarks: natural, artificial and supernatural, on land, sea, atmosphere, deep space, etc.
- Inner areas in structures: what is this room you've just entered?
- Creatures: sapient, non-sapient, supernatural, on land, sea, amto, deep space, etc.
- Population data, relationships between people and organizations, their prior interesting relationship history.
- Actions: hostile and non-hostile, including supernatural and advanced tech or alien stuff
- Goals & Motivations: overall purpose of people, creatures, locations and supernatural stuff that can't be explained easily.
- Opportunities, adventure hooks & quests: tons of quest hooks
- Plot clues: Got stuck on a quest? Get a fancy plot twist or a subtle hint, your choice.
- Item generator: mundane, magical, supernatural, advanced tech, etc. Also, spaceships and stations for Sci Fi setting - purpose, sections, etc.
- Names: for creatures (domesticated, pets, alien, monsters), settlements (by category and type), countries, large regions, stellar sectors. Large Faction name generator. Star names. Other stuff.
- Unique item and artifact names: 1600+ possible names for unique named items for your games.
- Planet generator: type, features, name.
- Names for natural and artificial landmarks in your world.
How do I use this thing?
If you're new, I advice looking up some short videos on playing table-top RPGs solo, it's really fun. But in few words, when your characters needs some details as to the situation they're in, or some object in their world, you look up the table in this book
Feel like something crucial is missing? Leave a comment, I'll consider adding it to the next version.
