An inspiration table from Chaos Solo Engine. Tables for Descriptor & Focus.
Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic
Chaos Solo Engine aims to act as a companion to the player(s) when playing solo. Answering questions, helping with ideas, structuring scenes, and guiding ongoing play.
These are two of the random tables with it. Roll them together when you want inspiration in solo or a tabletop rpg. Each pair of rolls has alternatives so "Fast" with "Statue" might not work, but "Lucky" with "Dragon" or "Lucky" with "Statue" might.
There is a pdf of these tables and the full solo emulator on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
