RPGaDay 2025 09: Inspire
I was a little stuck on today’s prompt, “Inspire”. So, I used the little roll tables for additional inspiration. I got a 5, for “Why”; a 1, for “Envious”; and a 3 for “Genre”. Of those, “Genre” is the one that sparks something. So, today’s random table is going to be “genres” in a loose sense for inspiration. Typically, I’d say a genre is “fantasy” or “science fiction” or the like. What I’ll abuse it for today is seeds for adventurous locales.
| d6 | Call for adventure | Complication |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A village is under threat of attack by monsters | Because it houses a sacred relic of the monsters |
| 2 | There are rumors of ancient treasure in a nearby ruin | Except it’s cursed |
| 3 | Nobody has ever returned from the bottom of the nearby canyons | Because there’s a portal to a different realm |
| 4 | The nearby forest houses a formidable witch | But visitors are not welcome |
| 5 | A band of criminals has fled to the nearby hills | The nearby hills house a large group of gnolls |
| 6 | There is a call for a nearby region to be explored | The local baron wants to annex the region |
As before, these prompts can be read left to right in one roll, or you can mix two rolls for more interesting interactions.
Look forward to more RPGaDay posts throughout the month!
