Reviews"Nearly every off-the-cuff question that has ever stumped me as a GM, large or small, could've been resolved in a dice roll or two with this book. There are lots of random tables out there, but few as creative and comprehensive as these!" -- Ginny Di (YouTuber, Tabletop Gamer, Singer and Cosplayer) "This vast tome contains an impossibly wide spectrum of creative ideas in an easily consumable format...the form and function of how these ideas are presented, and the versatility with which they can be implemented should keep the most experienced GMs happy for campaigns to come." -- Robbie Daymond, from the Foreword "This might be one of the best resources I have seen for world-building....one of the cheapest and most useful gaming books you can buy." -- GeekMom, "Nearly every off-the-cuff question that has ever stumped me as a GM, large or small, could've been resolved in a dice roll or two with this book.

If I was suggesting one book in the series for a new Game Master, it might be this." --Geek Philosophy "This might be one of the best resources I have seen for world-building....one of the cheapest and most useful gaming books you can buy." -- GeekMom "A fantastic book!" --Flint Fireforge "The Game Master's Book of Astonishing Random Tables is a fantastic addition to any GM's library. It contains literally thousands of prompts and ideas that are perfect both for wholly original worlds as well as official adventures. The world I created using this book is one my players and I already plan on returning to (there's still that Polymorphic Fog to deal with, after all) and honestly anyone who enjoys the creative process will find a lot of useful concepts and information here, whether they are planning on creating their own campaign or not. Like all Game Master's Book of... releases, this title is packed from cover to cover with great ideas, great artwork, and exceptional inspiration." -- Screen Rant "You can start from nothing and by the end of the chapter have a fully-fledged city with businesses, defense structures, and even a specific kind of construction material. You can also create some unique laws for your world (bear fights must take place indoors being my favorite) and create some of the most unique bars and taverns I've seen in a fantasy setting. And when you're done? Well there's a table devoted to drinking songs and hangovers too! All of this is in service of creating stories and helping you adapt to things." --The Fandomentals " If worldbuilding and random tables are your gaming jam, you'll want to pick up The Game Master's Book of Astonishing Random Tables . Part of Media Lab Books' well-regarded "Game Master's Book of" series, this book is filled with over 300 random tables, covering everything from creating god pantheons, planets, realms, and cities, to tavern ditties and drink concoctions, pickpocketing results, and criminal charges. Peppered through this handsomely-designed tome, you'll also find a series of GM Note sidebars that are quite helpful. The Game Master's Book of Astonishing Random Tables is 5e and Pathfinder compatible but could be easily employed in any fantasy RPG." -- BoingBoing "Best for Generating Ideas... The quality and quantity of material presented here is hard to match. This collection includes tools for worldbuilding, session planning, magic effects, interesting items, names and stories, along with many others that add a special flair. Whether you are prepping for your game, or rolling an encounter on the spot this is the tool you'll reach for. When designing a campaign you don't even need to roll a die to make use of these tables, just browsing the book can grant you all the inspiration you need." -- TheGamer "This is one of my favorite random table books I've ever owned...I love it." --Wilona's Cave, "Nearly every off-the-cuff question that has ever stumped me as a GM, large or small, could've been resolved in a dice roll or two with this book.

From the big questions ("Where does magic come from?," "Who's in charge?," "Why are we at war with our neighbors?") down to the most minute detail ("Can my party avoid paying property taxes on their new keep if it's actually an instant fortress?"), this book has you covered. Develop a rich tapestry of trade and commerce by randomizing your realms economy or find out who's really pulling the strings by rolling on the Puppet Government table. Want more ideas? How about a table or curses or dreams or wild magic results or spell scroll side effects or a random potions generator or a list of things your party shouldn't tough (but probably will)? All those and much, much more are waiting within. So relax, unwind and unleash the unknown. By letting this book spark your creativity and set the stage for each session, you can focus on the important things like how to properly destroy that instant fortress)., The thrill of a well-executed encounter, the curiosity inspired by a realm rich with lore and intrigue, the heights of drama, the depths of comedy, the triumph of a critical hit and the tragedy of its opposite-these are the moments all Game Masters strive to create. Delivering for your players-each time you run a session can take hours of planning. Or, if you use this book, a minute or two.

    I'd been looking for this book at my local game store because I discovered it at my library. But three months of them trying to get it through their channels had lead to nothing, so I found it on-line and a week later had it in my little hands and was ready to use it.
