A chainsaw is basically a sword with moving teeth. So only is it good for blocking, but deflecting blows and possibly even breaking other weapons.

Heh, heh, the second to last dark secret on the list is being the secret love child of Victor Lazlo. Victor didn't just travel; he got arouuuuuund. That's so daytime soap opera, I like it! What do you expect from the guy who stole Bogey's girl in Casa Blanca?

I have considered making his niece as a 1st level Parapsychologist, Victoria Lazlo.

Hollister, these tables just get better and better. The Cause of Death tables were great. You really should consider putting together an e-book and try marketting it on one of the website retailers. I would pay a dollar for a booklet like that. In fact, I paid five dollars for a booklet of random name tables based upon ethnicity-culture, and it is probably the single gaming book which I use most often.

I have alot more than that Lord Z. I just figure the random tables are the most easily adaptable for this forum. Plus both GMs and players alike seem to love random tables. :D

I actually have of alot of free time so if anyone has any idea for a random table they would like to see, let me know and I will see what I can come up with.

RGG is putting together a netbook of NPCs. Some random tables might be a fun addition. Hollister, I still think your tables are marketable, but if you think otherwise, maybe you should throw him a PM.
