RPGaDay 2025 08: Explore
Another day of my self-imposed random table per day challenge for RPGaDay2025! “Explore” is a bit of an easy prompt for this: any encounter table involves results of exploration. So, I tried to do another D-Devil table to have it generate curious results.
| 1d6 | Feature | State | Complication |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cave | Inhabited by wildlife | Recovering from many wounds |
| 2 | Ruins | Crumbling and overgrown | Emanating an old evil |
| 3 | Bandit Camp | Filled with people gearing up for a fight | Very few resources available |
| 4 | Merchant | Set up for trade | Will only work in barter trade |
| 5 | Site of a battle | In bloodied disarray | Being picked clean by scavengers |
| 6 | Wizard’s Tower | Pristine and impenetrable | An angry wizard blames you for something |
What would happen if a site of a battle was set up for trade yet an angry wizard blames you for something? What items could you trade? How would a cave be pristine and impenetrable, yet recovering from many wounds?
I hope this will help inspire out-of-the-box ideas!
Look forward to more RPGaDay posts throughout the month!
