d100 Dungon Stuff

So revising my redbrick book draft about 75 pages. Since I finished original draft 18 months ago I have trained myself to spit out bigger better tables. I was just working towards mostly doing d100 so I am expanding a few tables full to d100. I have a few big tables and some section intros to write too.

Expanding use into more dangerous depths for mid and higher level play so some extra bosses, elites, monster tables and treasure tables. But I hope to get readers proof for most out within fortnight.

Am amalgamating old and new tables for 3rd version in some cases. Contemplating changing one set of tables to make actual rolling process more fun (is that a good thing?)

This is one table to be revised as i forgot i had done it and want to amalgamate with mystery dungeon fluid tables.

One thing a dungeon cannot have too many of is a barrels! In dungeon theme pc games they are a standard thing to smash open. So here they are!

D10 is for common barrels and d100 for more unusual ones or more specific ones

As I have two tables final will have typical strange and possible extra category

Things I have learned from friends Fighting Fantasy games as player:
Dungeon inhabitants are like a form of crime syndicate or secret society with ranks, apprentices, gang signs, drinking sessions, business and more. Some onsters start menial trap scrapers or trap setters or patrols or guards. Work way up to getting own level or dungeon for profit and gang status. His is quite detailed but i like idea.

Also considered:
Writing some mythology for monsters living in dungeon with symbol and gods of dungeony things. Extra handy for sentient or ancient dawn age dungeons. Dungeon cult secrets. How the barrel goddess made the things to build the universe. A lamp god. A trap god. A chest god. A gate god. God of bars and chains. Or at least children of the dungeon goddess.

Buying some art for book illustration:

  1. Plunderable for my own games as usual.

    Those gods don't all have to be GODS some can be very useable as Demons and Angels (More likely to show up ).
