Tavern Encounter Generator

The tavern has small lanterns on the rickety tables. There are faded tapestries hung all through the building depicting battles of long ago. The main room is made of small wood slats with a huge fireplace at one end. A pot of suspicious-smelling food is simmering above the fire. At one of the tables closest to the fire, three halflings sit nursing tankards of ale. Sitting with them is a huge Goliath that looks even more intimidating than the company he is keeping. He drinks nothing and sits with his arms crossed. His body is visible through the armor swirl with night black tattoos. The halflings are dressed in leaves, with twine twisted around their torsos, and their hair is long and knotted. They seem to be celebrating. The Goliath doesn’t seem amused. Four humans that are sitting near them keep glancing at the Goliath uncomfortably. The humans have plates of what looks like roasted rats sitting at their table. Their noses curl as they examine their food. A jubilant bright red kobold runs the bar. He makes his way through the tables stopping to talk to his patrons. His eyes flash menacingly when the humans question the fare he has provided. His smile grows large as the human talk so that his razor-sharp canines begin to show.

Lots of RPG Tabletop players visit every tavern in every town they come to. They mostly just talk to the barman or the tavern wench and then the party moves on. The tavern should be lively with lots of intriguing characters and exciting conversations. The Fates have provided a generator that will liven up that local tavern with just the click of a button.

Haunted Forest Encounter Generator

They walk through the darkening forest. The bare branches are reaching towards them as they scramble through. The wind whistles through the trees and they hear faint words being spoken. They come to a bare patch of ground that is clear of bushes and brambles. Across the clearing is a crumpling ruin that looks quite ancient. Long-forgotten gods crumble at the entrance and the name of a long dead emperor is etched above the door. When they enter they hear scratching sounds. The walls are covered in unknown languages that could be invitations or warnings. Deeper into the winding ruins the scratching sounds become louder. Long dead humans begin to scramble toward them. The skin has fallen from their faces, their bodies are decaying, and they are covered in tattered shrouds. The monsters mouth soundless screams and begin to give chase. Simply saying a forest is haunted is not enough. A DM must give details that pull their players into the scene so that they can picture smelling the tre...

A young brother and sister find an old door in their basement that wasn't there before....

The discovery of an old door in the basement that wasn't there before sparks a multitude of potential narratives, each with its own blend of mystery, adventure, and the supernatural. Here's a creative direction one might take with such a premise: Under the dim basement light, a brother and sister stood before an ancient door that creaked with untold secrets. It was a peculiar thing, ornate and edged with strange symbols that seemed to dance in the shadows. The basement, their usual play haven, had transformed overnight into a chamber of mysteries. "Had this always been here?" the sister whispered, her voice barely above the sound of their synchronized heartbeats. Her fingers traced the cool, iron handle that felt like ice against the warmth of her palm. The brother, older by a year yet equally wide-eyed, shook his head. "No way. Dad would've noticed it when he put the Christmas decorations away, right?" He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, ...
