Hi :) Love your oracle, I'm off to the printer today o7. I must concur with Dare though, I don't like the icons much -- or at least, I think they're undeserving of that size.

Some things I think could be cool:

  • Expanding your random tables.
  • Urban encounters. I like the Wilderness ones a lot!! I don't think it's feasible to have tables for Every Existing Environment in common fantasy fiction, but I have a penchant to overextend my stay in urban environments. A lot of RPGs also have intrigue plots and the like that are uncommon in the wild. 
  • Magic. Maybe borrowing Pathfinder's arcane / divine / primal / occult distinction, for some flavour? Easily tied with other tables in the Oracle (which is one of my favourite features of it btw :) ).
  • Corruption and scars, be it madness/sanity loss or more bodily horror. It could help determine how a poison / hazard / monster affects their targets too, to make them more interesting.
  • In general I think more tables for NPC generation would be delightful (at least for me, they're one of the core parts of my solo journeys). In particular, an expansion of NPC behaviours/actions targeted towards factions/communities could be cool. Like they still have needs, motives, etc. but instead of individual ones (which CAN be put to use for groups, I've done so, but I can feel the friction) it could include more lofty ambitions such as (yanked from Questlandia) conquest, devotion, culture, technology, industry, control, etc.
  • Have you read Mythic Bastionland? Their prompt pages (22-2X) are of great inspiration to me :) Maybe to you?

Again love love love this resource, thank you for making it and reiterating on it and sharing it with everyone else <3
