MY reactions to them would definitely inspire you with all kinds of ways to toy with me :P<br />if i had been generating this table, there would be no mystery. I would have jumped straight to the conclusion with the items and players wouldn't get that spooky or WTF feeling...which is what i think i enjoy the most as a player.<br />thank you for opening my eyes to this!ewookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575992937649487920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-28378944506962871602014-01-13T17:54:45.406-08:002014-01-13T17:54:45.406-08:00No not at all Adam, I very much appreciate the kin...No not at all Adam, I very much appreciate the kind words! Thank you sir.<br /><br />I think over the top has its place and should be a included! I guess what always keep in mind is what might I find in a dresser, the common (sox, t-shirt, underwear), something odd (women's locket, old pocket watch running backwards, 4 bullets, all different caliber), and then what would be weird to find (handkerchief with a bloody tooth, a mummified cats corpse, a burnt voodoo doll). <br /><br />I thanks C.S. Lewis and the wardrobe I always wished to find somewhere for constantly providing a "what if" to the mundane in my every day life.Fenway5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14870312188585916750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615253283819094516.post-38313417058538958172014-01-13T17:15:57.377-08:002014-01-13T17:15:57.377-08:00i guess i'm easily impressed then :)

I think the key to these tables (IMHO) is trying to combine the mundane with the strange and a bit of the supernatural. That way you get a good blend of possibilities.

I agree with what ...I found an idol made of stones! I agree with what you say about tables firing the imagination. For a while it seemed like Random tables had fallen out of fashion, and were even looked down on, because people saw them as a crutch for crappy GMs or too silly, or badwrongfun ROLL playing, but I think they're a great spur to the imagination. Also, as a GM it's nice to be surprised sometimes.Lee Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127805337560546059noreply@blogger.com
