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!
