I want to commend John Harper on the amazing Forgotten Gods tables. Yesterday, a new player joined our group an decided to play a Spider with faith as his vice. I suggested we roll to see which forgotten god he worships. We got “The Web of Pain” and the cult practice was “Acquisition: Properties aligned with sacred geometry or attuned by mystical events.” So we ended up with a Spider who’s searching out the nodes of the Web of Pain throughout Doskvol. Perfect. Incredible work.

Hooray!
The list is sooooo good. The Keeper of the Flame has become a central figure in our game just based on rolling up some cool results on the table.
The B-Plot of my entire campaign was decided by an offhand roll on that table, giving me the One-Within-Many who is slowly infecting all the PCs and trying to take over all of Duskwall.
I love the tables. Sometimes it’s just choosing a good fit, sometimes it’s the randomness which prevents “same old, same old” and gives the story a cool spin. Not only Forgotten Gods, but People, Streets, Scores, etc., too. Great stuff.
Oh yes, the random table. We had an unquiet dead entanglement after they, er, “acquired” a factory for producing some chemicals.
They now have a possessed samovar named Mauno-Santeri, and the Leech is planning to turn him into a Hull. For a mid-score evening tea, of course.
Have I mentioned my players are insane and I love them? 😀 A++ shenanigans.
