Hello folks.

I'm creating a template for Fantasy Grounds which will generate random adventures for rival groups of NPCs.

I have some basic tables right now, but I need to feed these tables in order to make them better.

So I ask you for help me feeding it, the more options the better, so it creates more randomness and epicness.

Now I'll explain how it works, in the first image there are 2 windows, the first one is the emplate, and the second one is the generated story, everything which is between the [] is a roll from a different table, and those are the tables I need to feed

From the second image I'll post the tables the way they are right now, so you can see and give suggestions.

- PS: The names are not final, I just put random stuff to make it work.
- PS2: The enemy part will be more complex in the future, I'll create a entry for each kind of creature and each of those entry will roll another table, for example, if they roll Dragon there will be a Dragon table which will roll ancient/adult/etc and each of these tables will roll a type of dragon.
- PS3: There is no need for the numbers in the tables to being a pair, the FG rolls every number.

Names of groups you might want to make a combination of 2 or 3 words. That way you will end up with hundreds of possible group names. I know at least one of the fantasy name generators has info on the backend and how they put together the random names. Sorry I don't remember which one.

I think the DMG has tables for different types of adventures. It also has other tables that might prove inspirational.

Kind of Enemy you could also create various organizations. Such as thieves guilds, mercenary companies, religious sects, etc.

I was thinking in creat subtables for the enemies, for example:

Dragons > Ancient/Adult/Young > Chromatic/Metallic > Types of Dragons


The same for kinds of adventures:

Investigation > Missing children
Investigation > Evil Organization
Capture > Traitor
Capture > Spy

Etc.
