The following tables will create a random location in a weird fantasy world using three words. The format is Descriptor, Place related descriptor and Place. Roll a d66 (roll two d6, the first represents the tens digit, and the second represents the ones digit) for each table to get a random location. Combining several locations together, as well as considering the relationships between those different locations, should create a dynamic, interesting fantasy world.

ReplyDeleteThanks, I know I say this way more than it happens, but I am working on a POD book for this stuff. Here's hoping I don't get distracted and get it finished.
DeleteGlad to hear you still plan on a print product
DeleteThat would be cool. I recently got the Star Dogs books from Lulu and really enjoy the resources in them.
