Yearly Campaign Events
|
||||
.2C
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The inspiration for this is of course the Campaign Event table in
|
||||
Oriental Adventures, which I have to say is one of the few parts of that
|
||||
book that can stand on it's own without reservations. Nevertheless,
|
||||
while it is in general the most useful part of the book, it also is too
|
||||
long, too wordy, and focused on the Eastern Asia inspired setting
|
||||
presented in that book. This is a table more geared towards a generic
|
||||
fantasy setting (yes, even though I added Kaijus). The table in the book
|
||||
also had a monthly chart, my adaption of which is to follow, and a Daily
|
||||
chart, which I found to be quite superfluous in that article. The
|
||||
results of the monthly table are nested in the yearly one, and both can
|
||||
interact with one another.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
As always, don't see the results of this table as holy writ, but use it
|
||||
to flesh out the background of your campaign with events, stories, and
|
||||
rumors. In my experience you get the best results if you trust your
|
||||
dice, but if something just does not fit, don't make it fit by force.

|

.BU
|

Roll 2d6 to determine yearly event
|
||||
.BU
|
||||
Roll 1d12 (or an appropriate other die, depending on how many months are
|
||||
in your campaign to determine when in the year this takes place.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Some events take longer, roll how many months this event takes. This
|
||||
influences which table to roll on to determine monthly events.

|
||||
Explanations
|
||||
.IP Birth:
|
||||
a high-ranking person in the region or beyond (in a larger
|
||||
realm) has a child, this is cause for public celebrations and feasting
|
||||
(1d6 days)
|
||||
.IP Comet:
|
||||
a comet apears in the sky, roll again. New yearly event will
|
||||
happen within 1d6 months.
|
||||
.IP Death:
|
||||
a high-ranking person in the region dies, either naturally
|
||||
(1-4/6) or by assassination (5-6/6). This involves kings, dukes,
|
||||
high-priests, and other personages of at least regional importance. This
|
||||
causes disorder in the court for 1d6 months, or with 20% likelhood a
|
||||
violent struggle due to an unclear inheritance situation (treat like
|
||||
result for War/Rebellion)
|
||||
.IP Dungeon!:
|
||||
The location of a heretofore unknown dungeon full of treasure,
|
||||
traps, and dangerous monsters becomes known.
|
||||
.IP Earthquake:
|
||||
takes only a few hours, but causes destruction in 50 mile
|
||||
radius. 70% causes Fire, Major. 40% causes plague. (compare Earthquake
|
||||
spell)
|
||||
.IP Envoy:
|
||||
an envoy is sent to another country (1-3/6) or received in the
|
||||
local country (4-6/6). This can be an ambassador or an important other
|
||||
figure that will stay in the host country for 1d10 months to talk about
|
||||
matters. There is a 1/10 chance the envoy is from a very exotic location
|
||||
and a 1/20 chance the envoy is in fact a conman.
|
||||
.IP Famine:
|
||||
Famine due to drought, war, or other reasons. Lasts 1d6+1
|
||||
months, food prices double each passing month and will take the same
|
||||
amount to recover (Plague and Rebellion extend this). Marauders raid for
|
||||
food. 60% chance of Rebellion (see result Conflict, Internal), 20%
|
||||
chance of Plague following Famine. Every month of famine reduces
|
||||
population by 5%.
|
||||
.IP Flood:
|
||||
major flooding hits region, population reduced by 1-10%, 40% of
|
||||
famine at harvest season, 20% of plague
|
||||
.IP Good Omen:
|
||||
an omen generally seen as a good one appears, a new star in
|
||||
the sky, a dead tree lives again, etc. The harvest is bountiful.
|
||||
Population in the area grows by 5% over the next year.
|
||||
.IP Incursion:
|
||||
A large number of creatures enters the region from outside,
|
||||
driven to migrate either peacefully or aggressively.
|
||||
.IP Inferno:
|
||||
a major city is partially destroyed 2d4x10% by a huge fire.
|
||||
This can cause famine (20%) and plague (10%). Prices are doubled for a
|
||||
month, building material is 10x as expensive for 1d6 months.
|
||||
.IP Kaiju:
|
||||
a giant monster (e.g. the Tarrasque) or multiple ravage the land
|
||||
for 1d3 months. Effect like Earthquake, but repeated each month.
|
||||
.IP Marriage:
|
||||
the ruler of the land or his children are married in a
|
||||
political alliance. This is cause for public celebrations and feasting
|
||||
(1d6 days)
|
||||
.IP Miracle:
|
||||
if a disaster was ongoing it is either completely undone (1/6)
|
||||
or significantly reduced in results. If completetly undone treat results
|
||||
like Visitation
|
||||
.IP Political intrigue:
|
||||
(5-6/6) causes tumult for 1d6 months, or
|
||||
assassionation (5-6/6), see entry for Death. There is a 20% chance an
|
||||
intrigue will develop into a rebellion per month which adds to the time
|
||||
it takes.
|
||||
.IP Rebellion:
|
||||
A rebellion (1-4/6) or political intrigue (5-6/6) causes
|
||||
tumult for 1d6 months. There is a 20% chance an intrigue will develop
|
||||
into a rebellion per month which adds to the time it takes. There is a
|
||||
5% chance per month it causes a Civil War. Treat like Conflict
|
||||
(external) except without foreign enemy.
|
||||
.IP Religion:
|
||||
A new religion appears, or a notably different sect of an
|
||||
established one shows itself. There is a 75% chance this causes strife
|
||||
with established cults/religions. Establishment of the new faith takes
|
||||
1d6 months. 50% chance they convert the local ruler.
|
||||
.IP Plague:
|
||||
a deadly disease scours the land for 2d6 months. Population of
|
||||
region decreases by 5% each month of plague. Prices of goods quadruple.
|
||||
.IP Strange Phenomenon:
|
||||
Something very notable but otherwise categorizable
|
||||
happens
|
||||
.IP Undead:
|
||||
The dead rise again, either by the hand of necromancy or just
|
||||
due to ill fate (50% chance of each)
|
||||
.IP Visitation:
|
||||
A god, angel, demon, or other being of considerable power is
|
||||
encountered at a location in the region. If seen as positive this causes
|
||||
a new place of worship to come in existence (20% of new religion/sect),
|
||||
if seen as negative this causes everyone to move away and the whole
|
||||
surrounding hex becomes a place of bad reputation.
|
||||
.IP Volcano:
|
||||
dormant (1-3/4) or new (4/4) volcano erupts, destroying
|
||||
everything in 5 mile radius. Volcano stays active for 1d12 months. Every
|
||||
month 10% chance of new eruption.
|
||||
.IP War!:
|
||||
War erupts for reasons to be determined. Either local country
|
||||
against other country/tribe/polity, or the other way around (50%
|
||||
chance). If affected causes famine in 1/3rd of cases. The war lasts 1d8
|
||||
months. A war that lasts more than 4 months will not end this year, but
|
||||
will flame up again during the next spring.
