Publisher: Ken WickhamThis is a flexible knowledge generator that is meant to aid or take the place of a Gamemaster (GM) for answering questions or finding the clues, information, or describing what a humanoid knows. A chart optimized for 1d12 but with results for 2D6, 1D20, 3D6, and 1d100 systems is included. It makes it a versatile description generating engine.
This system is meant to give keywords, that when put together help to generate a collecction or field of knowledge. The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas. An attempt was made to make it usable for superhero, high fantasy, or scifi powers genres. Some small changes may be needed to interpret the results in some settings.
Included are 12 categories based on a modern library sstem of classification: General Info, Philosophy and amp; Psychology, Paranormal and amp; Religion, History Geography and amp; Anthropology, Social Science, Politics and amp; Law, Music and amp; Fine Arts, Language and amp; Literature, Science, Medicine, Agriculture and amp; Technology. Each of these have 12 results to total 144 results in the entire chart.
This system works well for adding random ideas into story writing, solo gaming, or to aid a GM in creating descriptions of characters. It may even be used in addition to an existing stat-block to re-skin it into something fresh and new.
This product is similar to the Motivation Generator. It is intended to be a paid upgrade to work with the Character Generator, Description Generator, Mood-Emotion Generator, Motivation Generator, Plot Generator, and Theme Generator or be used separate from the PWYW Character or Fact Generator to add one or more knowledge areas for character details.
2 pages: It's first page is the image shown on the cover thumbnail and mdash; and nbsp; the instructions and example and mdash; and the second page is the chart turned longways 144 results.
This differs from the character generator in that the results focus on knowledge rather than on character behavior. and nbsp;
Download the Fact Generator to use as a preview of this chart. I use the same chart with different results listed.
Use Fact Generator as a preview, since they are similar. It however has a 3rd page with the table turned longways.
