Building a new table, roll *open* table multiple times

[alloowishus]

I know how to make a table with random rolls and if you put [3x] or [1d10x] in front of the table on the row, it rolls on that table x amount of times.

However, if I have a table open and I want to hit the "Roll" button, how do I tell it to roll on that table x amount of times? Do you know what I mean?

I think you tell it by clicking the mouse x times :bandit:

You create another table - a master table if you will with only one row and then call the table you want to roll on the appropriate number of times. So if you want to roll 6 times on the table 'Gems' then you link the table gems to your line in the master table and place [6x] beside it like so.

But I want it to be a random number of times.

But I want it to be a random number of times.

The do as I said in post #3 but change the [6x] to [ndnx] (eg [1d6x]

Unfortunately this doesn't work because of the way I am structuring things. For example, I am rolling random building types in a town. So one of the building type is "Herbalist". However, I want to have different tables depending on where the town is located, i.e. grasslands, forest, hills etc. So I will have different herbalist tables for each location that I will open manually based on the location of the town. It makes it complicated because in order to implement the above suggestion, I would have to create a table for every Town location, I was hoping just to create one "Village - small building", but now I will have to create "Forest Village - small building" and "Grasslands village - small building" etc in order to roll x times on the appropriate herbalist table. Maybe that's the only way to do it. THanks for the help.

So then as Mr Z says, you have one table call another table. Just change his example from a fixed amount to a random amount.

Edit: ninja'd...

Have you seen Jim Sock's generators? Look for his modules and see what he has done in them. They have some pretty good examples for inspiration.
