Story Dice

I ran across something the other day quite by accident. They were called Rory's Story Dice. Its a set of 9 6-sided (I still laugh that only games have to denote what die they are talking about) with a different image on each face, for a total of 54 unique icons. The idea is you throw all the dice arrange them in a random order and come up with a story to go with the images. Its typically used as a free-association thinking tool. Then I got to thinking about this. I remember back in the early 90s a few companies dumped some dice on the market of a similar make. They were specific though, like directions in a dungeon, random trap, etc. And I seem to remember maybe a few story-like dice. Well this of course got me interested because some times you can't come up with an idea and some times you just want something to make your brain work on. So I got on the web and spent the better part of the afternoon looking for a website or java applet I just knew someone had to have developed because the idea is so cool. Besides which it would be a fun tool for gamers. To my surprise I found NOTHING. Now, if it this sounds of interest to you, please hunt for such a creation on the web. Let me know. I think its a great idea. In the meantime, I need to talk the wife into letting me buy a set of Rory's to fiddle with.

Do you mean something like this?&nbsp; <a href="http://www.rpg-tools.org/generators/index.php?pageId=1&amp;pageType=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.rpg-tools.org/generators/index.php?pageId=1&amp;pageType=1</a> You may have been stuck on "dice" or something, I searched "NPC Generator" and got that... Try searching &nbsp;more, I found a few things searching thins like "Plot Generator" "Plot Twist Generator" "Story Generator" "Dungeon Generator" and they might be useful to someone but I found them rather too random, but that NPC one seems pretty cool. The New Ultimate Campaign Book for Pathfinder has a lot of tables for different character and story elements....

This sounds like something a rollable table would work for. Build the table with the description you want for each dice side and when you roll the &nbsp;dice through the table it gives the description.

You can get them on smartphone app (Android Play and iTunes) if you want them for use outside Roll20 for plot hooks, etc. You need to search for 'story cubes' rather than 'dice'. I am using the physical cubes with a player who is having 'disturbing dreams' in my face to face games. I haven't done rollable tables yet &nbsp;
