You ever want to play D&D, but o-one's around to play? You ever just want to solo an entire campaign just to see if you can? Well I have and I've been working on a few randomized tables designed for a DM who has no campaign prepared what-so-ever. But I started thinking "What if there was a way to make these tables into a fully automatic campaign?" One where all you had to do was roll the dice and the adventure would run itself? Well, that's the idea I'm working on and I need some imput. The questions I'm stumped on are as follows: 1. How would I take control of the encounters and enemies behavior out of the player's hands? 2. How would I avoid the "Tic-Tac-Toe agenst yourself" situation durring combat? 3. How could I produce a good plot that the player is unaware of? 4. How could I keep the plot progressing logically and smoothly without the player knowing what's going on? 5. How would I get randomized events to connect smoothly? 6. How would I get the player's actions to effect the game while still keeping it random? 7. How would I keep the adventure world still feeling like a real world without a DM? I'll put up my randomized tables so you can see what I'm working with and hopefully someone can offer me someideas on what other tables I might need aswell as any other suggestions on how to make a campaign that runs itself.
