Starting #procgen24, which is a follow-up to #dungeon23. Procedural generation as a goal for 2024's creative efforts.

WHAT IS PROCEDURAL GENERATION

"Advanced Dungeons & Dragons provided ways for the dungeon master to generate dungeons and terrain using random die rolls, expanded in later editions with complex branching procedural tables."

#PROCGEN24

Each day in 2024, add one or more entries to one of your procedural generation tables.

You can make procedural generation for magic items or spells, interesting lore, NPC characteristics, whatever. The goal is creative procgen. I'm not telling anyone what is or isn't correct.
