The baker makes woodcuts in their spare time. And you know exactly what kind of woodcuts I'm talking about. They're probably making a fair bit of coin on the side that way. You didn't hear that from me, though.To generate another suggestion, simply refresh the page.
This template is for your run-of-the-mill, average thug, whether a faceless member of the town guard or a band of highwaymen. To provide a little variation, we offer several randomised customisation options. Throw in two thugs per able-bodied, fighting player character (and more if they are highly skilled and experienced characters).
To create a more experienced thug, combine two customisations. For a very experienced thug, combine three or four.

What’s a pain in the backside? Rolling up random herbs. It’s enough to make somebody not want to play a herbalist after all.
To the rescue! The random table scales the chances of finding rare herbs so that you’ll end up with a lot more common and low-value specimens (just as if you’d used the table in the Basic Rules).
Get me some herbs!
Your herb is a hallucinogetic herb or plant with a value of 2.
Do not consume without consulting your recipe.

The Creepy Crawlies pdf has been updated with the addition of a new creature: The werewolf.
The legend of the werewolf – a human with the ability or curse to shapeshift into the form of a wolf, or a hybrid form of man and wolf, typically under the influence of the full moon – dates back to the first century after Christ, and is probably older yet. The myth gained traction in Europe in medieval times and spread to the New World, peaking in the 17th century, subsiding in the 18th, and enjoying a resurgence in 20th-century horror movies.
Werewolves have a long history in Europe, and the legend takes many forms. This creature sheet describes the archetypical central European and Slavic werewolf familiar from Gothic horror; a man who turns into a murderous beast at the full moon. Quirks and abilities are taken from European legends and traditions.
Sometimes, the characters need a break – and by break they don’t really mean another story hook. This generator covers ordinary day-to-day things happening at the local inn in town which the characters are familiar with. A lot of entries here are simply background noise that characters resting up or waiting on somebody might act upon if they wish.
This table is designed for a European inspired fantasy set in a technological and cultural age equivalent to the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period (ca. 1100-1750 AD.).
This generator currently has 54 entries.
Give me five!
A local tries to sell a dog. The dog is a Good Boy.A wealthy patron eats, drinks, and makes merry and yet the innkeeper seems disgruntled. As it happens, this man holds a powerful position in town or has dirt on the innkeeper and he never pays for what he consumes.A guest turns out to secretly practise a forbidden religion, using charm and magic to gain converts and sacrifices for their faith.A couple of patrons – married or lovers – have a falling-out that turns far more public than one would wish.For once things are exactly what they look like: Another patron is actually an important nobleman out slumming, the patron making friendly with the innkeeper actually is just the best swordsman of the country coming through town today, or the four hooded men meeting in the basement are simply merchants meeting in secret in order to take advantage of a business opportunity – a perfectly legal one at that!To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
