ADVENTURE GENERATOR
The following tables can inspire a wide range of fraught and
deadly adventures. The tables introduced here are meant to assist
a gamemaster in designing a perilous and engaging tale. Many
adventures will follow a familiar structure, which is something
that these tables hope to help the gamemaster emulate at
the tabletop.

Blazing a trail of renown, heroism, and fame across Evera Prime is

something that should be achieved at the culmination of exciting
and dangerous adventures that involve the player characters
thwarting deadly plots and undoing the effects of ancient rogue
technology. At their heart, these tales of courage and adventure
should involve overcoming a tangible and identifiable threat or
solving a crucial problem, though unveiling this menace will likely
involve a few unforeseen twists and turns.

The tables that follow will almost certainly introduce their

own convolutions, some of which may not fit the plot that is
developing or the loose outline that you have in mind — whether
this was prior to rolling or as the tables unveiled the story arc.
There is no requirement to accept every roll made or even to
follow the process through until the end; specific elements can
be cherry-picked to suit, re-rolled, or ignored completely. There

BEGIN THE ADVENTURE

Roll for an Opening Setting and any non-player characters
present — including their temperament (utilizing the Opening
Setting, Non-Player Characters, or Temperament tables
as necessary).

Establish the Hooks and Draws that led to the player characters
being present, then work on unveiling the Plot Concept. Roll
on any additional tables as directed (Primary Antagonist,
Knowledge or Person Objectives, or Ancient Machine or Mutated
Creature tables).

Determine who is behind the plot (Primary Antagonist table)

and what it is they’re hoping to accomplish (Plot Fulfilment and
Location table). Roll on any additional tables as directed (Primary
Antagonist, Knowledge or Person Objectives, or Ancient Machine or
Mutated Creature tables).

TWISTS AND TURNS

Layer on some peril by rolling for one or more plot twists
(Obstacles and Twists table), but provide the player characters
with some sense of achievement by introducing some personal
goals and objectives (Goals and Objectives table). Build on this by
rolling on any additional tables as directed (Primary Antagonist,
Knowledge or Person Objectives, or Ancient Machine or Mutated
Creature tables).

LOCATIONS
Roll any number of locations on the Location Choice and
Atmosphere tables. Roll on any additional tables as directed
(Primary Antagonist, Knowledge or Person Objectives, or Ancient
Machine or Mutated Creature tables).
