SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I sort of dislike Carousing, downtime, etc tables that assume too much.
That a character would do X.

I prefer ones that give a player a choice of doing X, for example
They encounter a gypsy caravan and the Leader offers to do X for you if you help him do Y.

Then maybe a roll to determine outcome when you choose, with some idea of the possibilities. If they choose then bad things happening then life is just tough.

But that is just my thoughts.

They tend to be too slap happy for my preference. But I can see where someone else would enjoy the effect. Your solution is interesting, but it obviously woud require a bit more work for each entry.

My players are casual as fuck and not having everyone around the table is the norm for some campaigns. Your tables are a great way of handling it.
