TABLE OF FUTURE EVENTS
(OPTIONAL)
This is used to construct a future event timeline. This will
allow you to plot several years into the future or determine events as needed.
Use it in conjunction with a campaign calendar. Use it as inspiration. Roll
randomly and interpret the results. Modify as needed. You will often need to
roll on Table IV to determine the location of the event.
Each month roll and mark down the day or time when the event
begins to develop. It is important to create new events independent of rolling
as well, based on prior ones. As new events occur they might suggest further
developments. For example a massive drought or famine could trigger a
migration, and this in turn could trigger an invasion. There is no need to roll
for these additional events. Use the tables as tools, not as something to limit
possibilities.
With many events, actions by the players can alter the
outcomes. When you roll and record events in your campaign calendar, these are
done with the assumption of no intervention. Things may change if the players
decide to intrude themselves.
