How to make a custom villain-based plot engine.

The essay at the heart of this first Table Tools pdf was originally published by Johnn Four in issue 645 of Roleplaying Tips newsletter. Here the villain-based plot engine is updated and expanded. Learn how to custom-build the three tables needed for your plot engine:

  1. Villain
  2. Action
  3. Victim

Alongside the basic essay, I include step-by-step guides for each of the three tables. These three worksheets help you compile your own custom villain-based plot engine. Furthermore, you receive two blank versions of the tables ready to complete yourself. Finally, this pdf is bundled with my sample tables as a spreadsheet, allowing you to start using the product immediately.

Still not sure about the plot engine concept? Here are six results from the BONUS sample tables bundled with the book.

  1. Cult of the Broken Dagger steal from Ambassador Tan'uk 
  2. Count Ballan attacks the High Steward
  3. Sassdric of Mortavia curses the Silver Scales
  4. The Azure Blades Mercenary Company steal from the Palace Guard
  5. Zandor, Master Thief assassinates the Sisters of the Holy Light
  6. Cult of the Broken Dagger attacks the Palace Guard

This pdf features:

  • Guidance on compiling your custom villain-based plot engine, with advice on probability and choosing suitable villains, actions and victims.
  • BONUS - Three worksheets, one for each of the three tables.
  • BONUS - Two blank versions of the villains table, one for printing and a spreadsheet for you to compile digitally.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
