The Game Master’s Book of Astonishing Random Tables provides hundreds of tables for nearly every worldbuilding and gameplay situation GMs may come across. Need to know what the local food is like? Roll for it. Need to know how the city’s plumbing is organized or if they have a sewer system? Roll for it. Need to know what specific pathology drives the mad draconian warlord just beyond the city’s gates? Roll for it. Want to determine what a sorcerer’s spell effects look like or what unique way they cast their spells? You know the answer!When warranted, many of the table results are “enhanced” with supplemental information to help clarify roll results, like how a particular type of government is run, or what a particular style of architecture looks like . Other tables will have a branching element, providing a path to fleshing out larger scale subjects that require more detail than can be provided with a single table. The book also includes three one-shot adventures that help GMs put the book’s tables into play right away, so that they can see exactly how helpful and enhancing they can be.The Game Master’s Book of Astonishing Random Tables fills in the holes of gameplay, enriching every scene, setting, character and event, while also adding new, unexpected elements to shake things up and keep players on their toes.

The one thing every Game Master needs in order to run a session for their friends is an adventure. This book gives them everything they need and then some.Good, professional-quality adventures are a necessity to play the game, but they can be expensive, sometimes costing upwards of $50 or more. Writing your own adventures can be a lot of fun, but it takes an enormous amount of time to do so.The Game Master’s Book of Adventures on Demand solves these issues by providing GMs with nearly a dozen adventures, each suitable for an evening or two of play. They can be run as standalone game sessions or they can be linked together into one long, ongoing campaign using a unique “Facilitator” that provides a connective tissue between adventures as well as epic climax against a one-of-a-kind, earth-shaking villain.And as with every book in the Game Master series, this volume is packed with dozens of extra tools designed to help GMs run their sessions with less stress and more fun. In addition to the ten one-shots and the Facilitator, Adventures on Demand also provides instructions and tables for bringing adventuring parties together in fun and unique ways, adding complications and twists to existing or home-brewed adventures and enhancing adventures with unique add-ons that elevate the playing experience. GMs will also find information about constructing different types of adventures from scratch or skinning existing adventures to fit the GMs preferred genre or style of play.
