POLL: Tables vs Questions

Discordantopia
A downloadable setting guide

While the OSR and OSR-adjacent spheres love tables, I've never really found much use for them outside of very general tables (random encounters, reaction, etc) that are normally baked into play. Story games typically rely on tables a lot less, instead leaving all the improvisation to the GM and the mechanics that drive it. One thing story games do that I like and want to include in Discordantopia are questions that are unanswered in the book, leaving the GM to answer it on their own or when it becomes important to play.

Questions from Stonetop on the Crinwin

Despite me leaning towards the GM questions, I thought it would be worthwhile to hear from you all which you would prefer. Regardless if one clearly wins over the other, I will still include some of both, it would just determine the ratio.
