say I had a bunch of random d6 tables rather like the island generation system from inverse world i.e. you roll about 14 d6, and then reading them in order, get a bunch of output.
say, also, I wanted to have a great many sets of rolls on these tables done for me automatically by a computer… does anybody know of a tool that might help me do this?
Spreadsheet? You can probably make something with VLOOKUP commands.
Here give this a look:

I would have made a quick one in goggle spreadsheets, but my Table menu is missing….
I wrote up a python script that allows you to roll through nested tables. Difficulty: you still need to actually type up every table as a list in notepad.
hmmm. Sadly, working out how to heck to make my own stuff from that excel stuff appears to be a bit beyond me thus far.
Samoht Strebor I can do the tables in notepad easily enough, what else would I require?
on excel – it can be done, but the formatting of it is tricky. helpful hints – Vlookup formula is your friend, Merged cells are your friend, and start at bottom of your charts (furthest down in the nested tables) and work back towards top
I think you might be able to use Inspiration Pad Pro, too. http://www.rpginspiration.com/
The seventh sanctum website is all random generator. It gives tools as well but they may not be easy to use (I’ve not checked in a while)
