What it is about
Tables for the Apocalypse - 1d100 Mission Prompts
This is a single, 14 page long d100 table containing mission prompts for apocalyptic and/or heavily dystopian settings, originally designed for myself for solo adventuring. These prompts do not present the player with detailed descriptions of full missions, but rather their purpose is to stimulate creativity and give flavor and a general direction which the player can use to bounce ideas off of or employ other soloist tools to fill in the blanks. The descriptions aim to strike the right balance to be restrictive enough for presenting a general direction while loose enough to allow for the player or chance to move the story in a wide variety of directions.
There is no prescribed setting or game system. The assumed setting is a generic near future dystopia turned zombie apocalypse with some military elements and a variety of influences in my preferred doses, while still retaining the setting agnostic core.
