The Mad Recluse Oracle

#1 Post by tibbius »

When you need a jolt of creativity, or want to play solo, you can apply the Recluse oracle (https://gravenutterance.com/2019/03/24/ ... lo-engine/) to get interesting answers to yes/no questions.

You can produce a Mad Recluse oracle with the following modification to Recluse: when you get doubles on an equal-weight roll, a random event occurs.
  • doubles: random event
  • 1: new NPC
  • 2: environmental change
  • 3: discovery
  • 4: loss
  • 5: rumor or memory
  • 6: old NPC
Then ask the oracle whether the event is beneficial or baneful.
