Note: The only way of doing tables in Blogger I know of is to code them manually in HTML and hope the formatting comes out as usable. Sorry for the mess. The intention is that a single column can refer to several previous lines. For instance, if you roll "2" for appearance, then you next roll 1d6 to see if it's a humanoid, animal/monster or plant shape. Then you roll another d6 to see if it's rough or finely worked, which goes for whichever shape you rolled.

Cool! I'm going to roll some up for my dungeon.
ReplyDeleteCool! This will come very useful to roll up idols with horrible curses and magical effects for my upcoming campaign. This is a very useful blog, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've been thoroughly enjoying your blog Premier, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFor tables I find it easier to just do one up in Word, covert Word to PDF and then take a snapshot of the table. Upload the pic of the table to the blog - no mucking around with html that way.
