Random tables for OSR tabletop role-playing games! Call them RPG random charts or random tables, we all know how helpful they are.
Earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons embraced random tables and RPGs cast in the OSR mold do as well. Roll a handful of dice and get a quest, encounters, and items ready for your game.
It is my belief that random tables are a dungeon master’s best friend. I make random tables and I collect random tables.
If you need help shaking up your next session, here’s a list of the best RPG random tables.
