I saw this first, and it prompted me to look through a range of your other event tables. Just wanted to say that there's some good stuff in here. I often have trouble trying to think of enough interesting events to fill out a table like this, so I might direct some folks your way it the need random events of a specific type in one of my games... as long as you don't mind.

Thanks for your kind words. These tables are from lists I have been creating for the past, well, lets just say ever since I learned what roleplaying was. I typed them from my notes and added to them. I essentially templated them when I ran out of ideas. Basically replaced noun, subject and verbs to create enough variety. [ahem] [as far back as the 80's. Shhhh!] These are ideas I just wanted to share and have more to share over time. I believe in idea sharing in the same spirit as 'zines from the stone age of gaming. :) Enjoy!
Agreed. I've been trying to make a bunch of mini games over the past year, where most of those games are smaller than your lists. However, I love the idea of having prompts for people who struggle to come up with spontaneous elements to add into their stories. When I try to fit a whole game onto a page or two, there's not a lot of room for lists.
A lot of my game ideas have been built on half-complete concepts that have sat in a friend's notebooks dating back to the 90s (he offered me the chance to copy down some of those ideas when I said I wanted to make some games but didn't know where to start). I love the idea of bringing back old ideas for a new generation.
