  1. You could have an entire grave-robbing campaign using your random grave tables. Pretty cool. Any plans for a Psychosian weird graves table?

    1. Well you could do party of graverobbers who end up reluctantly fighting undead - will put on my gonzo hat for psychonian graves soon. The gothic zone work i intended to be a compilation of play aids for sandboxing - mostly in graveyards, mousoleums and old churches with haunted houses and castles thrown in. Sequel to my redbrick zone. All the zones under my long stairs section being converted to more typical dnd and expanded. Recently realized good for solo play too.
