Random Realties

Welcome to Random Realities: Revelations for the Roving Raconteur! This zine works as a universal oracle for all of your solo RPG needs, comprising 60+ oracle results on each of its pages. With a single 2d6 roll, a page flip, or a button click, you will be instantly inspired to envision worlds, locations, scenes, people, creatures, settlements, items, and much more. Read along to see a sample page and understand how it works. Without further ado, here's a sample page of the zine: The idea is very simple: roll d66 (2d6, using one number as decimals and the other as units) to determine your page, and instantly access a unique combination of results from 60+ tables (the dice results are in the bottom right corner, along with a d4 and a d12 as well). Don't feel like rolling dice every time? Simply flip the zine to a random page if you have a print copy, or click on the dice to go to another page. Wait... click on the dice?? Yup! If you are using the PDF version, you can simply click on the dice (or on the title of any category) and it will take you to another random page! It is pretty magical!* A world in every flip As you can see, instead of having a single table on each page, you have a result from 60+ tables on every single one of the 36 pages. If you are familiar with oracle decks for solo play, the principle is pretty much the same. Instead of flipping through the book to find the right table, you have a collection of results that allow you to, in a glimpse, decide many details about the situation you are in. NPCS, quests, rewards, wilderness exploration, encounters, monsters, it's all right there. I drew from my 30+ published games experience to collect the most useful, practical, and evocative oracles for this zine. I tried to keep the entries as setting neutral as possible, but in some cases I default to fantasy as a sort of lowest common denominator. As a player, it feels easier for me to adapt a fantasy-flavoured result to, say, a modern setting, than the other way around. *This feature only works on PDF readers, both on mobile or on desktop. Browsers do not support this function. The oracle results are organized into 10 different categories. Here's an overview: * General: As the title implies, this category covers general oracle resources, such as answering yes or no questions, complex (open) questions, and intensity/quality/quantity questions. * World: create a unique setting by defining its name, the prevalence of some characteristics, its inhabitants, and, with the help of some icons, envision what is unique about it.
