 Random Event Generator (d6) - (Alternate Version)

This version of the Random Event Generator helps the player

generate random events, plot twists, and outcomes. To use it,
simply roll a standard six-sided die (1d6) and refer to the
corresponding entry below.

1. Con ict: You encounter a hostile force, enemy, or obstacle. Describe

the nature of the threat and decide how to overcome it. (May or may
not result in combat)

2. Opportunity: You stumble upon a valuable resource, ally, or

advantageous situation. Describe what it is and how you can make the
most of it.

3. Discovery: You make an unexpected discovery. It could be a hidden

location, a piece of information, or an artifact with mysterious
properties.

4. Challenge: You face a personal challenge or obstacle. Describe the

nature of the challenge and what you need to do to overcome it.

5. Twist: A sudden plot twist occurs. It could be a betrayal, a change in

the environment, or an unexpected development that changes the
course of your adventure.

6. Choice: You face a critical decision. Describe the situation and

consider your options carefully before making a choice that will impact
the story.

After a random event has been selected, the player can then go
to the oracle and ask a further question(s); keeping in mind of
the location, scenario, verb/noun words, and the random event
to help phrase their question(s).

 Secret Discovery System
This system uses a single Clue Dice roll to determine when secrets are
discovered. It ensures that secrets are uncovered naturally and

Encounter Table keeps the game dynamic and engaging.

Single Trigger Mechanism: Clue Dice

major encounter (combat, puzzle, or social interaction).
2. At Key Story Points: After completing quests or reaching major
