This is the submission thread for the official FtA! random chart design contest. The rules for this thread are as follows:

1. This thread is for posting your random charts to be considered by our judges (myself, Dr.Rotwang! and Jrients) for the prizes offered by Flying Mice games (1st prize: cash!, 2nd Prize: FtA! or other Flying Mice Print book, 3rd Prize: FtA! or other Flying Mice PDFs).

2. Any random chart posted on this thread will be considered for publishing in the upcoming FtA! Gamemaster's Notebook! (FtA!GN!), and as such posting a chart on this thread will inherently constitute permission for your chart, whether or not it wins the contest, to be printed in this sourcebook.  Any charts published in this sourcebook will receive a credit in the book.

3. Please limit yourself to posting charts here; any commentary should go in the adjoining Commentary thread.
Other than Flying Mice (which will probably post more about the rules and conditions, and prizes, shortly) and the judges (in their judging capacity), no one should post on this thread except to present a chart.  

4. All charts should be in following with the FtA! rules system; at the very least this means that the only random determinant for the chart should be the D6 (or D3), and extra consideration will go to any chart that incorporates other elements of FtA!'s rules.

5. The contest will run until September 30th, at which point only the Judges will be allowed to post, to give their decisions as to which charts are the winners.

NOTE: winners will be announced on this thread and will not be contacted by other means. So if you're new here, stick around a while, post in some other places, and keep an eye out for this thread at the end of the month

ALSO NOTE: You're allowed to enter the contest as often as you want, as long as its with a different table each time.

I know, I know, I said I wasn't posting anymore...but this was way too fucking cool to pass up.

Here's my submission:

QuoteRandom Ancient Coins Chart

Roll 2d6

2 Triangular coins with Eldritch Signs upon them, so worn as to be unreadable

3 Octogonal coins with a square hole in the center, held together on leather strings.  The coins bear the mark of Emperors from an unknown land; the markings are in unknown characters.

4 Square coins inset with semi-precious stones.  They weigh nearly twice as much as normal coins, and are marked with strange characters cut directly into the gems.  

5 Circular coins of unknown origin, all bearing the portrait of a bearded human on one side and a tree of some kind on the other.

6 Circular coins marked in the common tongue, but bearing no common symbols.  The faces are of unknown people and the mottoes are of unknown origin.  Even the heraldry is strange.

7 Standard coins from a previous era that have had all the faces marked with a crude X.

8 Roughly circular coins (actually a 20 sided polygram) with mottoes on both sides of the coins.  The writing uses the same letters as the common tongue, but form no recognizable words.

9 Similar to flattened ingots, these coins are small and oval, but much longer than they are wide.  The higher the denomination (written in ancient script on the coin in raised letters) the sharper the sides of the coin.

10 Square coins with a circular hole in the center, help together with fine chains.  The chains themselves may be worth more than the coins they hold.

11 Oval shaped coins, which are all highly magnetic, and each denomination sticks together.  They have all been worn smooth with time, but bear some hardly discernible markings.

12 The coins are all actually rings kept on small wooden hands.  The hands have hooks on the "wrist" side of them to be worn on a belt.  The wood is mostly rotted now, and the rings are too small for human-sized creatures to wear.

Hi,

  The concept was intriguing enough to play with for 20 minutes and so...

What Was That?

Roll 3d6:

3:   The unraveling of reality!  A jagged opening into Hell/Chaos/Annihilation opens before you!

4:   Jinkies!  A Ghost!  He possesses one of the party to carry out his dread vengeance against the King!

5:   Dashing Pierre, the Quick Pick!  He's just robbed you of your most valuable item and fled!  After him!

6:   The cry of a warband!  2d6 Warriors leap out in ambush!

7:   The twang of a bow!  1d6 Unseen archers are attacking!

8:   The snap of a twig. Someone's following you!

9:   Just an odd shadow.

10:  Nothing -- just the wind.

11:  The creak of a tree branch.

12:  A traveling merchant.  His wares are high quality, but cost 30% less than normal.

13:  A friendly local.  She can give useful advice about the surrounding area.

14:  A magical windchime.  Listening to it provides a minor magical effect (of a healing/defensive nature).

15:  The cry of a child in trouble.  Rescuing him/her will lead to a big reward.

16:  The glint of a large gemstone set into a giant statue.  care to check it out?

17:  An injured being from the Upper Planes.  Can you help it?
 
18:  The glow of a hidden, magical city that you've stumbled across somehow.

Consider this entry the replacement for my original one in the previous post

Cheating, here is my 3D6 + Open ended Stupid Potion Side-Effects and Quirks

3 The froth on this potion is light brown and smells like a smelly old sock. drinking it, the bubbles roll across the roof of the mouth and refuse to pop, until swallowed, still leaving one with a feeling of bubbles in the stomach for 3D6 days. The bubbly feeling the potion leave the character with bouts of violent burping fits at random intervals. In battle, concentration, or spellcasting roll a D6 to determine if a Violent yack fest of burping ensues. A roll of a 1 causes this effect to happen.

4 This strange black and thick syurpy liquid rolls down the throat with the speed of molasses.  It takes 1D6 rounds to swallow the liquid! Unfortunatly, it tastes like the most fowl, out of season and digestest remains of a porcupine, with all the quills on it. Once swallowed the character can swallow other potions twice as fast for the next 1D6 days (for the black liquid coats the throat and liquids slip down it much easier!) However for the duration it feels like the characters throat is on fire and they are compeled to drink liquids whenever they are presented or gotten for easily.

5 Pink, thick and smelling like a rotten corpse this potion slides down the throat with ease, and tastes minty, fresh and sweet. In fact, so good that the character thinks they need more. One swallow of this potion, is not enough, after the first dose, they MUST swallow the remaining liquid, including and up to using water or breaking the vial to lick out every single last bit. Once completly gone (Which can take up to 1D6 rounds, to get out that..last drop) the character is satisifed. Side effects include constipation for 1D6 days.

6 This thin red and cherry flavored potion is light and and tasty, almost like candy. However, this potion has some horrid side effects. Roll 1D6 on the following horrid side effect chart, becuase...rolling a 6 is very very bad. (Did I mention this was an open ended chart?)

1. The characters face, turns red, beet red, and numb, for 1D6 rounds.
2. The characters arms turn red, for 1D6 days. And itch. The itching burns!
3. The characters body is covered in red welts. They don't itch, and smell like cherrys. Unfortunatly many monsters like that smell. MANY. Roll 1D6 on a ...ehem, 6. A random monster appears to try to devour the aflicted character (GM's choice, of course)
4. The character pukes up the potion and breaths fire for 1D6 rounds. It does 1D6 fire damage. If either of these D6 was a 6 the damage effects the character, as well.
5. The characters pants become beet red from the liquid going through the body. The character must find a lue and go for 1D6 rounds of horrible, horrible red runs. Did I mention they burn?
6. Woe be the character that gets this. They vomit, crap and welt cherries for 1D6 hours. On a 6, this becomes days. The cherries burn, itch and taste great!  Consult the table again, if, for some god awful reason a player chooses to eat a welted cherry, vomit or excrement. Once the character is done with this effect, consult the table again... (open ended till, at least they dont roll a ever loving 6 =D)

7 This purple liquid smells and looks like grape juice. It tastes like putting your mouth over a open fire, and inhaling the smoke. A mesquite fire roasted over an open corpse. Side effects are, a constant...sound and smell eminating from the back side for 1D6 days, that of the orginal taste.

8. The green apple tasting liquid actually isn't that bad! It tastes great, makes the mouth water and otherwise is great tasting. 1D6 months later the character erupts in a green flame dealing 1D6 Damage to the player. They forever hate the taste of a grany smith apple forever. This includes pies. Red apples are okay.

9. The blue liquid in this bottle is thick like oil, almost and smells like a winters spring day. Upon drinking, the player is struck with wanting to wash his, the other players and whatever other clothing that is within a 1D6 miles untill briliantly clean.

10. The orange liquid in this bottle, smells and tastes like nothing. However after consuming the player causes himself to vomit, 1D6 rounds later, for no reason at all. The vomit is orange and smells and tastes like nothing, and could be bottled up and sold as a potion. It makes 1D6 potions, and then repeat. Ad nasuem. (Insert drum snare)

11. This bubbling, fizzing, and snapping clear liquid froths and and steams out of the top of the bottle like fine mist. The smell is like lemon and lime and tastes like an orange met a pinnaple. Unlike the previous ten potions no horrid side effect happens. Instead the player must say one of the following words, "orange", "lemon", "lime", or "pinnaple" in every sentance for the next 1D6 hourse. On a 6 that becomes days.

12. 6's are bad. If the player who got this number had a 6 when rolling on this chart. Consult the really , really bad horrid chart bellow. Otherwise, this strange multihued potion looks black like ink, with winks of white, that appear to be stars. The smell of the potion can't really be described. Some say rotting flesh, while others say blueberry muffin. Everytime it's different. The taste is the same, but typicaly opposite of the smell. Rotting flesh would be warm fresh meat in taste and blueberry muffin would proboly taste like a blueberry bush errupted in your mouth and the blueberrys tastes like socks.
The player is then rocked with a strange halucination for 1D6 rounds. Afterwards the player feels like he knows a secret, but can't quite say what it is. This secret can't be shared, and the player is haunted by this knowing something in the back of his head sensation for 1D6 Days. When the effect ends the secret is revealed, as "I saw Stars, nothing but stars."

"The really bad horrid chart" 2D6 (if either die comes up is a 6, well, sucks to be the player.) In addition to the above, the player is also effected by the random taste and smell as decribed bellow. Please, don't roll anymore 6's (See entry 7)

2. The potion tastes and smells like gravy. The player is compeled to eat like a hound dog for 2D6 hours, overstuffing their face. At the end of the duration they must vomit the entire amount out at a lue. For 1D6 hours they must talk or have the manerisims of elvis.

3. The potion tastes and smells like shoes. For 1D6 days the player is can't talk, and constantly tap dances.

4. The potion tastes like sugar and smells like poison. For 1D6 rounds they must air flute/guitar/whatever else instrument they can immediatly think of , all the while feeling like wet sugar was poured over them, making them sticky sweet.

5. The potion tastes like red hots and the hottest salsa youve ever eaten, it's chewy and smells like the fires of hell. For 1D6 hours the player is compeled to try to at least, get one persons soul via signature and shady deal.

6. No this isn't a bad number, the next one is. The potion tastes like a fresh salid, and smells like oil and vinegar. The player wants to be a vegitarian for 1D6 months. If they are already, they want to eat meat.

7. DOOM! If the player rolled a 6 to get this result, on the 2D6 chart and or gets a 6 in any roll from now on, consult the "So you really had to roll that 6" chart after this horrid bad things chart (the effect stacks with each potion description).  Otherwise this potion tastes like butter and smells like eggs. The player wants to cook (Even if they can't) for the next 1D6 Days or meals. On a 6... its months. The player always insists, no matter what, and even if the players cook without them, they will cook a meal anyways, such is the compulsion.

8. The potion tastes like a book and smells like ink. The player forgets how to read and write for 1D6 days. If they can't read or write, they feel as if they can, and attempt to do so, to prove other people wrong.

9. The potion smells like a flower, and tastes like a bee stung your mouth way to many times. For 1D6 months you become alergic to bee stings, if your character was already alergic, they are now immune for that amount of time.

10. The potion smells and tastes like floor tile. For 1D6 days the player thinks, acts and smells like a dwarf, and are convinced of it. If they already are a dwarf, no effect.

11. The potion smells like dead bird and tastes like a mouse. For 1D6 hours they act like a typical house cat.

12. Oh, this ones bad. This potion subjects the player to visions tastes and experiances they have never had or imagined. It smells and tastes like a star exploding in your mouth, and smooth vannila ice cream with melted guda cheese. The player MUST roll again on this chart (as well as the "So you really had to roll that 6" chart, twice remember) and add the effect to the list of effects. Multiple twleves earn you extra pain, as you must do it again, untill you get it right. The effects are continious. As soon as one ends, the next effect kicks in. Enjoy!  Side effects of this potion are, you think you can control the galaxy for 1D6 minutes, and mumble act and dance around strangely.

Now the "So you really had to roll that 6" chart

1. Your left arm turns red, then for the Next 1D6 days progresses up the color wheel. (red,orange,yellow,green,blue,violet) You can't touch interact or eat anything your arm's color or higher, and are parinoid about the higher colors. When you reach viloet the following effect ends.

2. Your hair erupts in flame, and you take 1D6 damage. The next day, it turns to stone. The following day the stone turns into water, dousing you with a at least a buckets full amount of water (more if your hair was longer)
the next day your hair grows back to normal and looks like it is contiously being air blown. It remains like a mad scientist's creation for 1D6 Days afterwards, no matter how hard you try to fix it, and the player can't cut it either (Other players can)

3. Whenever you pick up a weapon for the next 1D6 hours you must lift it high into the air, never to allow your self to drop it. You may continue to use it to attack, but after the battle you continue to look foolish. If you fumble or drop it, the time is reset, and 1D6 hours is added to the time. After the time ends you can't lift anything with the arm you held the weapon high for at least 1D6 days.

4. You suddenly get acne all across your body. This lasts for 1D6 hours and the player must talk with an alternating high low voice during this time.

5. The next time you see a monster you must flee. No matter if you are immune to fear effects or not. You must flee, and act like a complete coward for 1D6 battles. After the first round or cowering you may fight like normal, but are still crying.

6. The gods don't like you. A lightning bolt strikes you out of nowhere for 1D6 damage. This happens 1D6 times, at random, and totaly up to the GM. A 6 on the random times indicates that yes, you have to roll on this chart...again. This effect can't happen underground or if theres a roof over the players head.  There is a constant black cloud lingering over the players head untill the effect ends.

(now back to the chart!)

13. This purple blue liquid looks and smells like dragon skin, cooked to perfection. It tastes like a warm bowl of milk and honey. The effect of the potion puts the player to sleep for 1D6 hours, but first they must pour out all their wealth in the form of coins to sleep on like a bed.

14. This light, airy and sizzling potion looks amber in color, and slides down the throat like a warm brandy. The player is compulsed to drink as much alchocol they can for 1D6 minutes untill they pass out afterwards.

15. The dark bitter brown and ucky tasting potion can't be described to taste. Players MUST pinch their nose when drinking. Afterwards the player cannot smell or taste anything for 1D6 Days.

16. This fuzzy warm and white potion tastes like a strange exoict fruit. The player must go as low as they can go and play imaginary limbo for 1D6 hours. Afterwards They move at half movement, becuase of the lower back pain.

17. This purple doted potion is strange. Mostly becuase of the purple dots. It smells like pork and tastes like soda pop.  The player feels the need to consume the flesh of people or raw meat for the next 1D6 days. In addition they must sing and or hum while consuming the said flesh.

18. Now your going to think this ones horrid. Guess again! This potion is clear, smells like water, tastes like water, and is thick, syrupy and rich. Small bubbles roll along the top of the mouth as this smooth liquid goes down, and nothing seems to happen immediatly. Instead, the Gm is to wince, nodd approvingly, give an evil smile, or otherwise, indicate the players doom when getting this result. Wincing is proboly best. Add a OOOOh and you get the right feel. If this is the FIRST time rolling on this chart and you get this result, consult the chart again, otherwise if another potion was given out use this result. After injesting, 1D6 rounds later indiate the player feels a funny sensation in their tummy. Then, 1D6 hours later, indicate that they think somethings happining, slight discoloration in the skin, spot in front of their eyes, or other wise harmless yet more potent effects that the potion has done to them. 1D6 days later indicate that yes, now for sure something is going to happen to them. Roll 3D6 look at them in abject horror, then to the player in question. Consult the chart. Consult it again, stratching your head and shrug.  Then wince. wince alot. Roll some more dice. Wince more, and then go "maaaaaaan" When said player can no longer handle the pain. Get up Claim bathroom rights, and wait. Wait a good few minutes.  Then, and only then, come back to the table, look at the result again and say to the player. "You burp." Regardless of the outcome, 1D6 Months later the character bursts into flame, vomits, and otherwise deals 1D6 damage to themselves in spectacular fashion, leaving their face black and a stunned look across their face. Inform them that, yes, the final effects of the potion happened. =D

There, I hope you enjoyed the chart. I had fun writing it.

P.s. I suggest that you use the decriptions and tastes in normal regular potions (but not the stuipd side effects). Hilarity ensues when its a bad one. Make the healing potions taste cherry at least, like roll number 6.

I shouldn't do more, but Jeff has now offically compeled me.

Stupid Laws that Make Visiting the Town A Pain in the Butt

Roll 2D6

2 You must peace knot your weapons, and your shoelaces (Considered as a weapon)

3 You must visit the authority and show him your exposed backside, bending over. He will kick you in the rump three times to ensure your not smuggling any illict items.

4 You can't be on the streets during the waxing of the moon after last bells. The fine is being locked up and the next day pranced around town with colored ribbons to ward the evil spirts from your body.

5 Wineskins must have wine in them. If they don't you're forced to burn them, also "iron" rations must have a small ignot of iron in them or they are confiscated. Regular rations don't apply.

6 You must be polite to the guards. Any sass and you get a demerit shaped in the form of a round sharp and worn coin to be hung around the neck. 6 of them and you have to scrub the local farmers yeast fermenter who supplies the local tavern. 12 and you must mary one of his ugly wifes sisters (equaly if not more so horribly ugly) in restitution. The farmer is the mayor, incedently and formed the town.

7 All weapons must be named. The name must be etched or otherwise inscribed upon the blade or hilt. Non named weapons must have them etched or engraved by the local blacksmith for a fee of 1D6 Silver.

8 Drinking inside the tavern is not permitted. People intending to drink must do so near the "Puke bowl" A giant round shaped bowl that is the town square. Puking inside the tavern earns a night in the bowl.  The bowl is cleaned out once a day and the leavings used as compost. The bar owner has such fowl beer that on the first drink typicaly one must puke. People who are caught during the waxing of the moon are paraded around the puke bowl.

9 If you are an outsider to the town you must wear a funny pointed hat that says in old common "Outsider" You might get pelted by tomatoes.

10 In town you must only pass over the bridges in one direction once, never twice before forced to leave town. Its considered bad luck to pass over them in more than once in one direction.

11 The guards at the gate let all but one strange person in town a day per party, the remanding person must camp outside.

12 Players must speak always in the form of questions when bartering for goods in town. If a player breaks this rule before the person selling the goods they must leave the building. The town typicaly sells the best weapons and armor, claming only crafty people are able to weild the best of gear.

going for the gusto...jeff I hate you.... heres
