Lore24 Quick Table

This in itself was a fun exercise: a quick, d20 table for when I'm stuck for Lore24 inspiration. Working on this table counts towards Lore24.

Points of Interest Subtable

This subtable is for POIs (a subset of Places above). This subtable will get a very similar distribution to those recommended by Sachagoat here as part of their excellent series on Reinventing the Wilderness.

d10 Place Type Example
1-2 Scene Groves, passes, shores, shacks, hamlets
3-4 Dungeon
Roll d8 1-3: Small, 4-7: Medium, 8: Large Dungeon
5-8 Lair Enemy camps, monster lairs; Opposite of a Scene
9-10 Roll d10: 1-9: Utility POI; 10: Town/City

  1. think about how to tie mechanics into your world, or make your game world more diegetic
