There’s nothing quite like the right table at the right time… except maybe finding 20 gold pieces in your character’s other pants.

A spark of inspiration. A strange twist of fate. A name that wasn’t there before – much like that mysterious stain on your character sheet that appeared after the pizza arrived.

At Tome & Torch Press, we believe that random tables are more than just dice fodder. They’re the secret doors, the forgotten corners, the eerie echoes that turn a story from “Oh no, another tavern” to “Why is that bard juggling gelatinous cubes?”

That’s why we’re launching the Tome & Torch Table Drop — a free, monthly delivery of handcrafted, narrative-rich random tables for your tabletop RPG sessions. Because let’s face it, sometimes all our improvisation skills max out somewhere between “mysterious stranger” and “another goblin attack.”

What kind of tables?

  • Strange Local Superstitions (Like never splitting the party… oh wait, that’s just common sense)
  • Unusual Items in a Goblin’s Pocket (Spoiler: It’s not just your missing magic items and half-eaten cheese)
  • Mystical Side Effects of Drinking the Wrong Potion (Number 7 will make your character grow an extra appendage in places your miniature can’t represent!)
  • And more surprises every month that will leave your players saying, “Wait, you planned this?”

Each one is system-neutral, beautifully formatted, and designed to spark your imagination whether you’re a GM desperately stalling for time or a player crafting your fourteenth backup character because your current one keeps poking dragons.

Sign up for our mailing list and we’ll send you a new table every month — no spam, no gimmicks, just good storytelling fuel for when your creative well runs drier than a desert mimic’s mouth.

We’ll also keep you posted on upcoming releases, calls for submissions, and creative tools forged in the fires of collaborative TTRPG design.
