RPGaDay 2025 06: Motive

I’ve been on a kick now with making random tables for #RPGaDAY2025, so maybe I’ll just go nuts with it! This time, I want to try my hand at making a “D-Devil Table” as explained by Baron De Ropp. In this case, it’s not for a random encounter, but for faction motivations.

Number Goal Motivation Complication
1 To rule the dungeon A lust for power Too weak to do it
2 Wipe out the other faction Pure xenophobia Can’t be seen doing it
3 Summon a powerful demon Religious worship Don’t know how yet
4 To loot the entire area Pure greed People are injured
5 Tend to the dungeon Care for their home Invaders ruin things
6 Prey on people who enter Training for combat Too many inexperienced members

Look forward to more RPGaDay posts throughout the month! RPGaDay Setup
