Table of Tetrahedral Possibility

You thought I was going to skip Random Generator Month, didn't you? I don't blame you. Last year was a bad year for whimsy or whimsey. Yesterday, however, Fortuna fixed me with her gaze and inspired me to launch a modest fleet of d4 tables, yes, a series of tables exclusively devoted to the 4-sided die. Although we are starting the randomly generated celebrations late this year, there may very well be days when there is more than one table. I am neither promising nor warning you, but it might happen. We shall see. [Edit: It happened. Repeatedly.]

No Random Generator Month This Year

As you can see, if you are an actual being who is actually reading this, there has been no Random Generator Month this month. I had hoped this would be an annual occurrence, a haven of levity, for as long as this blog exists, but sometimes circumstances ruin our plans, and this year I have not been able to muster the necessary amount of silliness. I wish I could. I'm just trying not to fall into the abyss.

Peace.

What Is This Table? Table

Once again, it is April Fool's Eve, and this time the foolishness will be doubled! Here, in Applied Phantasticality, you are invited to the madness of the What Is This Table? Table. (You'll see...) There, in Savage Arts & Sciences, you may enroll in the Build Your Own Space Opera Table (inspired by the likes of Flash Gordon). Two mega-tables for the price of one! Which will win? Read them both to find out...

Your Dungeon Tour Table: Epilogue

This year's Random Generator Month was the most productive since I started the tradition. Your Dungeon Tour Table ended as a 1d30 table, and I think part of the reason is that this was the first Random Generator Month in which I was guided by a procedure: creating an integrated random dungeon generator inspired by that found in the 1st edition AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide Appendix A. If you start with the Occasional Checks table, it actually leads you to the tables you need as you map an original dungeon. It was a fun exercise, and I plan to put it to the test very soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to give it a try and share your observations in the comments.

Your Dungeon Tour Table

We are on the cusp of Random Generator Month (also known as April) when little random generators come out to frolic. This year, the random generators will work together to bring you randomly generated dungeons in what I like to call Your Dungeon Tour. It may seem like a normal random dungeon generator, but it is my hope that it will confound you in new and interesting ways when it is complete. Use Your Dungeon Tour Table to torment your friends and yourself to-day!

For the complete experience, roll first on the Occasional Checks table and follow the tour from there.

Random Generator Month 2023 Plans

April is nigh, which means I must begin preparations for Random Generator Month here in Applied Phantasticality. In honor of this year's event, I added a permanent link to the new Random Generator Month ultra-mega-table, which in turn links to various mega-tables, which in turn link to, well, tables.

At this point in time and space, I am thinking about connecting this year's Random Generator Month challenge to my Dungeon of Castle Greyauk project. The two projects could reinforce one another quite nicely. Time to brainstorm!

Happy upcoming Random Generator Month!

Table of the Quasi-Answerable

As a bonus to Random Generator Month 2022, readers may notice I added a few random tables after the completion of the Unpredict-O-Bubble Table, which are now part of the...

Random Generator Month

April is Random Generator Month at Applied Phantasticality, and I have taken care to add that link/label to every April mega-table including the one I retroactively created for the first satirical tables I posted in 2013. Thus far, we have the Table of Tablecentric Tables of 2013, the Table of Many Tables (Contains Tables) of 2020, the Expanding Unknown Table of 2021, and the Unpredict-O-Bubble Table of 2022. [Add the Table of the Quasi-Answerable also of 2022.] [And Your Dungeon Tour Table of 2023.] Apparently, it's a self-imposed tradition now, so I thought it deserved a name. Happy Random Generator Month, readers!

Unpredict-O-Bubble Table

This is the time-defying Expanding Unknown Table, posted on the first of April from the future world of the 20th of April, so that readers of the present may watch it unfold before their very eyes, and readers of the future can use it as a convenient reference.

Table of Tablecentric Tables

As a result of (undoubtedly ill-advised) time travel, this table has been transported from the year 2022 (April the 16th) to the year 2013 (April the 2nd) in celebration of the holiday (known only to Applied Phantasticality) as Random Generator Month, because April 2013 is indeed when the inspiration was born. A happy Random Generator Month to all, and to all a good roll of the dice!
