Included tables: Personality Events Theme Events Game Focus Events Relationship Events Familial Events Location Based Events Age-Related Events Action Events (which can be used for downtime as well) World Events outside of the characters A 1d300 mega table of unsorted prompts for the truly adventurous (New!) If you would like to build your character and their background simultaneously, check out the suggested pathway instructions. These create starting characters for each supported system.
