Automated Spacecraft Generator

Made to be used with Star Dogs: https://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2019/11/star-dogs-players-handbook.html

To generate a random spacecraft, first decide whether it is an alien or human spacecraft . Roll on the appropriate “Spacecraft Form” table to get a general idea for the ship’s shape. From then, the generation tables/buttons are the same for both alien or human spacecrafts.

Click on the buttons to generate a spacecraft! 

The raw tables can be found below.

Automated Space Random Encounter Generator

Made to be used with Star Dogs: https://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2019/11/star-dogs-players-handbook.html

This generator is an updated version of this post: http://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2016/04/random-space-encounter-generator.html

Click on the buttons to generate a random encounter in space. 

The raw tables can be found below.
(Automated using: http://meanderingbanter.blogspot.com/2018/09/automatic-list-to-html-translator.html)

Button/Table Descriptions: 

Space Scenery: gives the “area” that the encounter takes place in – these are intended to give interesting cover and obstacles to any potential battles.

Modifier: gives the descriptor for that area, possibly changing the way it operates and appears.

Contents: gives the thing encountered, which may be anything from valuable cargo, a band of space pirates or weird space entities. There is a seperate button for each result.

Automated Space Random Encounter Generator: 

Raw Tables: 

Space Scenery:  

Clouds of fist sized asteroids. Flying through the clouds will cause minor to moderate damage to ship HP.
Spacecraft sized cloud of asteroids, slowly drifting and colliding.
An out of orbit moon, cracked, decaying, dead and lifeless.
A cluster of aged, defunct satellites, signal repeaters, landing assistors and other mechanical detritus.
A space station. No lights, signals or transmissions are emitting from it.
An enormous asteroid, riddled with clearly visible caves and tunnels.
Clouds of chunks of ice that will melt to water globules when close enough to ship exhaust and energy weapon fire.
Two warp portals. The portals are about the width and height of a moon. A mass of space detritus is caught in an endless loop, warping from one portal to the other, endlessly drifting.
An enormous stone structure cubic or pyramid in shape. It is riddled with entrances, windows, clear passageways and rooms indicating it was a structure for habitation. It is ancient and rotting, also clearly not intended for space travel.
A moon sized comet, hurtling through space with a brightly colored trail of gas and debris. Collusions with the comet would be catastrophic for most space craft.
An enormous out of commission and rotting spacecraft, large holes riddling its hull. No sign of power or operation.
Huge and dead, hardened organic hive structure. Chunks of rotting organic material trails behind the hive as it floats through space. It does not appear to be inhabited.
Clouds of purple and yellow ion storming that will completely dematerialize ship shield systems.
Clouds of thick green gas that most rudimentary ship scanning system will indicate as extremely flammable and explosive.
Brown green clouds of thick dust, gas and pebbles. Flying through these clouds will cause almighty din in any areas of the ship close to the external hull as stones bounce from it.  May also disrupt audio visual sensors and decrease manual visibility.
d20 Still smoldering husks of obliterated spacecraft involved in a recent battle. There does not appear to be any survivors but some ship signals are still live but silent.
A clearly living organic structure approximately the size of a moon. May be tree/seaweed/fungus/sea cucumber/coral/etc-like in its formation.
The putrid and disintegrating carcass of some mythical, long dead space beast. Its features are rotted beyond recognition and classification. All that is left behind is flesh, bone, ichor and organs frozen and floating in space. Frozen globules of blood approximately the size of a stunt fighter orbit the carcass.
d20 unmanned, unpowered ancient spacecraft, drifting together connected by a web of fuel and powerlines. They are of a design and make not seen in eons.
Clusters of drifting, globules of a type of dark matter. While entering them will not cause lasting or physical damage, it will result in complete ship system failure. This dark matter will pass through any physical barriers (ship hulls/shields) as if the matter around the globule has absolutely no effect on it. Organic creatures will become unconscious for d10 rounds if they come into passing contact with a globule. Anything remaining in contact with the dark matter for more than a few minutes may disappear from existence.

Modifier:

The scenery has clearly been nibbled/chomped/eaten by a now absent space leviathan.
An unexplained source or sources of gravity are dragging the scenery towards it. Ships may also be affected by this.  Objects and detritus will be clustered, tight and swirling towards the gravity source.
The scenery or part of the scenery has the alarming property of draining electronic energy systems. Ships in the vicinity/contact too long will lose power completely and drift aimlessly in space – all systems offline.
The scenery or part of the scenery has the alarming property causing one of the following systems to go offline, d4: 1) shields 2) scanning and targeting 3) engines 4) weapon systems.
Garbled/disturbing/intriguing localized dataplane transmissions
Inhabited by system specific alien – along with the housing required by that race.
Inhabited by system specific rogue humans (rebels, pirates, anarchists, etc) - along with the housing required.
Floating globules of magnetic, liquid metal. Will stick to starships leading to unusual hull shapes and possibly loss of speed.
The scenery is churning and swirling in a massive gravitational maelstrom. This maelstrom may affect the movement of spacecraft travelling through it.
The area is replete with a valuable resource that can be salvaged, mined or foraged. It may be the scenery itself, or attached/ingrained within the scenery.
Space mushrooms or truffle balls of various sizes and colours coat the physical objects in the area, or float listlessly in space. They will explode in clouds of spores when coming into contact with spacecraft and their engine exhaust.
The physical objects in the area coated in clusters of dog sized eggs. Eggs may or may not be covered in slime and goop and raised on a stalk. Obscene alien lifeforms may or may not be contained within.
Space mirage causes objects in the area to multiply, shimmer, blur and other wise confuse those nearby.
The scenery, or parts of it, emit hazardous levels of radiation that may seep through spacecraft hulls depending on the craft.
The scenery glows blindingly with an infection of some plasma like substance.
A thick ghostly space fog flows through the area, sparking with electricity.
A forest of coral like space vegetation growth infests the area.
Corpses, either alien or human, float in clusters near the scenery.
Scenery is cracked, shattered and broken apart into many pieces.
Alien beasts who live in the vacuum of space, infest the scenery.

Automated Sci Fi Dangerous Sector Generator

Made to be used with Star Dogs: https://lizardmandiaries.blogspot.com/2019/11/star-dogs-players-handbook.html

Click on the buttons to generate rooms or regions in threat filled areas of planets, buildings, space stations, etc (it's kind of like a dungeon stocker but Sci Fi).  

The raw tables can be found below.

(Automated using: http://meanderingbanter.blogspot.com/2018/09/automatic-list-to-html-translator.html)

Button/Table Descriptions: 

Basic Sector Stocking: Ensure you have a basic understanding of who and what dwells in the sector, and what could possibly be dangerous, of note, etc. Use the results to stimulate what you already know about the sector and make it more interesting. Each of the following stocking options will manifest different depending on the context of the sector you are generating. An area of “eating” looks much different on a space station than in the cave of some primitive alien beast.

Visual manifestation: Again, have an understanding of the context of the sector you are generation and apply the statement rolled to warp and modify the appearance of the room/area in question. Click twice or more and combine to get weirder areas.

Trap generator: Combine the two button results to get a trap if needed.

Technology generator: Combine the two button results to get a technology if needed.
