The Book of Random Tables: Quests: Adventure Ideas for Fantasy Tabletop Role-Playing Games (The Books of Random Tables)

The quests are presented in easy-to-read lists, which makes it simple to browse through and find what you need (not so much roll...). The quests themselves are diverse and, covering a wide range of themes and settings. Each quest is detailed enough to provide a foundation but allows for personal customization and creativity.I like making variations on quests and themes and this is a great tool for that. The clear and concise descriptions make it easy to adapt and modify quests to fit different scenarios without bloating it up with a lot of detail (that I may need/want to cut).

This book is a really handy tool for any dm. Book is broken into sections for things like different styles of quests, city ideas, and beasts to name a few. Each group has 100 ideas. Easy to mix and match pieces. I've found it helpful in our main campaign as well as a few stand alone ones I've done. This is a very affordable book that is of a good quality paperback. I would definitely recommend to add to your dm toolbox.

A good set of random tables that can result in numerous possible adventures. As with most books of random tables, the best use is to spark ideas for the person using the book, weather it is for adventure writing or unusual stories. In my opinion, it could have used a few more options for the trips though.

So this thing looks like one of those old workbooks you'd get in school. I'd say more durable, but it's very close. It's full of random tables according to type. These ideas are pretty solid and are used to spark some creativity. It's described just enough to use them on the spot and blend it into a campaign. If you have a big binder for your campaign materials, this would be perfect to punch holes into and put in there. It'd need a powerful hole puncher, but still, that's where I would store it. I have a section in my binder for random events and names, so this fits perfectly. Overall, just know this is to help you get started, not do the work for you. But, when the group derails, this is super useful.

There's nothing fancy here, it's just as it says. It's a simple encounter book with various hooks for your games and players. However, in that role it does a great job. The different hooks are organized into different sections to make selecting the type you need for your encounter easier. There are a lot for every type so you won't be lacking for ideas. Yes, you can find all of these and more ideas online. If you're buying one of these encounter books though you're doing so because generally you want them in one location without all the searching. This one gives you a lot of ideas for a very cheap price. I can't think of another encounter guide that beats this one for price. If you're looking for such a book definitely check this one out.

Great for giving you ideas. If you are quick on your feet you can easily turn these into a lot of different adventures

The quests have a few great ideas behind them, and I guess that’s what they are there for. My only issue is that there are pretty much the same quests with a changed person or object to find from section to section, especially across the 3 books (I have purchased all of them). I got a few good things out of here, so I’m not complaining! Great for beginning DM’s/GM’s.

This is great for me. Yes, you could make your own, and yes you could plan all that you need to as a GM/DM. However, I love that I don't have to do any of that. I have acquired several of this author's books and use them to help make game nights more interesting and I also write my own single-player campaigns and love that I can use these random tables to keep myself on my toes.
