Alliterative Adversaries A to Z for Spooky & Horror

Animated assistants, an amnesiac antiquarian, alien adherents or an accursed angel...to use as allies, antagonists, enemies, villains and encounters.

Pick a letter, roll a d10 (or choose) for the Adjectives column, and then for the Adversary and combine.

Entries have a default choice, and an alternative in italics. So if you don't like the first result, there may be another combination you like without rolling again.

There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as Spooky Alliterative Adversaries.
