I made a random encounter generator for my Marvel game and I figured I'd share it in case anyone else was interested in it. I try to incorporate a some of the everyday aspects of superheroes into my game so this encounter chart has that as well.

thats not bad, thanks for sharing; i think i will include into my spread sheet for in game inspiration when the PCs go 'off plot'

I like it. Looks like it would fit nicely into Inspiration Pad Pro.

What's Inspiration Pad Pro?

Its a neat little application that lets you create customized automated random tables.

You can find it here: [www.nbos.com]

I use it all the time for everything from weather effects, names of people and places, and even whole NPCs. I started building a villains encounter list based on general power levels (using "Street Level," "Powerful," and "Cosmic" as my levels), but I wouldn't really call it a random encounter table.

That's awesome Thanks for sharing.

Nice job!

The random encounters in "New York, New York" still set the bar for me, though. Enough flesh to gorge it down raw, but bare-bones enough to tinker with it and to add it to the game without prior prep.

For random idea generation ... [theyfightcrime.net]

It's been around for years but still makes me laugh

Hey, if anyone could replace the link in the first post with this file, I'd appreciate. I've been getting a requests randomly recently for access to the encounter generator and I'd rather people didn't request access from me and just had it. I don't seem to be able to edit the old post.

Thanks!

I should quote you so you'll get a notice, I hope, but either way, go for it.

Any chance you could share with me the word doc you created it from? It'll be easier to incorporate it into our MP issue template.

Thanks!

Sorry this took so long, I usually get on this site on my phone these days and I kept forgetting to send it. Here it is as word doc. I couldn't attach a newer file type here.

Awesome! Thanks again!

Did this ever make into a Marvel Phile?

I have a plot generator in the JMCC that is inspired by the New York, New York tables.

Not sure?

It's up on the downloads page of FASERIP.org as we discussed anyway. Most popular download so far, followed by the male realistic superhero character sheet.

Awesome! I've been meaning to post some other stuff, but coaching has kept my evenings too busy.
