How To Make a Macro Complex Sentence generator

I would like to make a complex sentence generator , but there are no videos on YouTube about it; I can only find a random number generator. Can someone please tell me which codes I have to use to make the complex sentence generator?

At the free level, you can only do this with one or more rollable tables. Enter the words or phrases you want to use in each table, and have a macro that calls from those tables. It is not very good, honestly. You wont have any clever logic, but if you are tring to create specific types of sentences it might work.

Like GiGs said Make a series of rollable tables. (Quantities; Proper Nouns; Verbs; Adjectives; Objects; Punctuation) Make a [[1t[RollableAdjectives]]] macro like this. Mind that there's no real grammar logic so you have to be careful in the Mad Libs sentence structure or else you'll get subject-verb, singular-plural disagreements. Another minor problem is the visual appearance of the output in chat, it's best wrapped in [[inline-brackets]] and will come out looking like Highlighted Words. Personally i really enjoy it and it's a lot of fun for limited uses! I get good mileage from a relatively simple one called "TheGMis", and I would say this is not truly a complex sentence generator , more of a simple Mad Libs.  Outputs sentences like: The GM is reading the monster manual. The GM seems to be rolling some dice.  The GM is asking whether that's your final decision.  The GM is not against the players.  The GM is listening closely. The GM is probably not even listening.

Those sound fun, Gold. Yeah there's potential with this approach if you have specific and limited goals.
