d100 Lonley Ruins

I had done ruins before and they are still useful for a quick adventure but I got impression re reading them they are the kinds of ruins near people who remember what happened and could be researched to prepare for exploration. They are ready made lairs who's function is obvious. Many are more like dungeons. When I put in next compilation will re title d100 local ruins.

This table a bit more archaeological. They are the kind of remnants nobody remembers that you might find on a hex crawl far from settlements. These are not rumour haunted or gossiped about. Nobody cares or knows anything about them.  They are more ancient and possibly pre human. The bone forest in my setting would be full of ruins like these. Will be more like quick lairs than mini dungeons. A bit more creepy than my earlier set.

Interestingly Scandinavia, Russia and Japan has lots of nasty short magic humanoid spirit folk for monsters while DnD classic not so much. People report Kappa sightings in Japan still. I will have to expand on my gnome option to create other small magic humanoids. Im still unsure if halflings need work to save them in my game or replace them with goblins. Am working on a quick table based setting which im having a lot of fun with.

Im writing a few game culture posts too at the moment - on cheap arse gaming and player fueds
