New tool for #Stonetop: random tables for generating minor arcana.
Minor arcana are magic items, historical objects or places, tomes or lore, lost songs and stories, and other story-full treasure. A minor arcanum isn’t nearly as potent or consequential as the big, serious, costly artifacts that I’ve been posting before.
In case it’s not obvious, the structure here is largely inspired by Jason Lutes’s tables in The Perilous Wilds. The tables don’t generate specifics, but rather provide inspiration. It’s up to you (the GM) to determine the exact nature of any given result.
As always, questions and feedback welcome and appreciated. I’m particularly interested to hear what the results inspire if you roll up some arcana of your own.

This is awesome and super useful. Thanks!

This has a very OSR feel to it.
As always, great work
The More stonetop the merrier.
Stonetop is going to be awesome! All hail Jeremy Strandberg!
Thanks for kind words, all.
Just posted some examples here:

Whoa! Kudos on the (as usual) great job!
One fan contacted me through my Polish Dungeon World fanpage, and converted this generator, so it can be used with Inspiration Pad Pro 3.0.: https://www.dropbox.com/s/996ci9fkj6qobw5/Minor%20arcana.ipt?dl=0
It has some bugs though 🙁 They should be fixed soon.
what about the major arcana generator? =D
On the Nature table, there’s overlapping entries for 6-7 and 7-8.
steve christensen Oh hey! That was more than a little out of date! I just updated the link with the most current version.
You adding this to your generator?
Thanks!
and yes, I’m working on adding it right now. 😀
Jeremy Strandberg In the ‘Mysterious Places’ table after the examples… Should the ‘FORM’ rolls for the ‘new place’ entries be form d4+8 or form d8+4?
Huh? Oh! That’s scrapped material, actually. It (and all the a examples) where hanging out in the document and I forgot to cut them when I made the PDF for public consumption.
I don’t actually remember how I originally intended to use the Mysterious Places chart. But it’s definitely an abandoned idea.
