Old School Heretics

Whats Inside The Mysterious Tome d30 Table

1. Magical notations describing, and capturing, the psychic despair of all

insects throughout history ever entombed in amber. The energies will

aide those seeking to escape imprisonment.

2. The readers future diary, chronicling from the moment they found the

book up to the seeming moment of their deathbut the last page is

missing, and the narrative ends in an abrupt fashion.

3. An alchemists diary, recording in exacting detail his daily diet and

excretory records, weighed and measured. This is all written in a

backwards, ancient language that can only be read by a 6th level

magic-user.

4. The dashing tales of derring-do of Waldo the Ubiquitous, that

esteemed ancient adventurer known to have visited all the realms at

least once, and half of them twice. Rumored to have been lost on his

third voyage to Eastern Umfulkampf, it is said to contain the true

secrets of how to travel light but still be ready to dungeon delve on a

moments notice.

5. No mutton? No lizards? No way! Everything in moderation, says

Drugahl, Chief Cook to the Orc King. After all, some days only blood

or flumpf will hit the spot. In Chef Drugahls 30-Slaves to Get Ready

Meals, the bestselling cookbook author serves up another helping of

creative, hassle-free recipes that are ready to rock your taste-buds

with the help of less than thirty slaves. Here, at last, are recipes for

those who just cannot and will not live totally slave-free: Meat dinners

made mostly with slightly rotted meats and no vegetables, fresh elven

and dwarven sausage wraps, camp-style meat-pies, and tons of

scavenging ideaswith and without fins and feathers! With more than

150 new dishes, plenty of time-saving tips, and a generous serving of

Drugahls I will kill you attitude, 30-Slaves to Get Ready Meals

proves you dont have to go to extremes to eat Orc-style!

6. Its clearly a hoax.

7. A transcription of a dialog between Orcus and Grazzt debating the

relative merits of entering into demonic pacts with humans. Halfway

through, the text changes to a partial translation of the ninth chapter

ofThe Necronomicon for about 50 pages, and then theres this weird

purple stain covering the rest of the pages in the book. Anyone

touching the stain must make a Save vs. Insanity, or immediately strip

offall their clothes and attack the nearest dwarf.

8. The design plans for a cave complex for a keep somewhere near the

borderlands.


3/12

9. A series of variously-sized and sequentially-numbered tables. The

entries are hazy and unclear, but the numbers stand out clearly and

seem to float above the page.

Should a means of determining a random number, such as a die, be

available to the charactersand courage be mustered to use thisa

table of any kind and from any gaming resource may be chosen by the

GM and the appropriate die rolled by a player. The text of the table

entry rolled will clarify on the page of the tome, and may be read

from the GM table by the players. Reality will flex almost

imperceptibly and this table result will manifest in the experience of

the characters in the game. It should be incorporated by the GM atthe earliest opportunity, ideally at once.

For each additional entry determined in this way by any character,

the flexing of reality also sees that character suffer one repercussion

from the d100 Repercussions Table.

10. Blueprints, schematics and operating tips for the dream-harvesting

engine, perpetual motion dungeon turbines (handy for re-setting

traps, powering spinning rooms, etc.), geodesic microverses, low-cost

flat-pack insta-dungeons, and the like.

Also includes cuttings of articles on the use of purple worms in

macro-culture soil aeration, Myconid hunting tips, the political

economy of pillaging, etc. All the above are written and illustrated in

the breezy style of the Whole Earth Catalogue, although occasional

hints of loss and horror intrude.

11. A treatise exploring the failure of treaties between the elves and the

dwarves, between elves and drow, between drow and dwarves, and

the roll of gnomes in instigating the 1100 Year War.

12. Its just a lichs coloring book.

4/12

13. A rambling, unedited, stream-of-consciousness discussion of various

spell-books and scrolls that Verdananmium the Mad found to be

inspirational in his own magical research and spell creation. Several

of his references are to tomes that clearly do not exist or attributed to

the wrong archmage or necromancer. The names of spells are often

confused with other, similar sounding names, and many of the spells,

if cast in the form that Verdananmium has recorded them, will result

in severe miscasting catastrophes. A message from The Wizards Guild

stamped on the inside front cover strongly encourages its members

not to trust the accuracy of the tomes contents. Those attempting to

read the tome must make a Save vs. Insanity or be severely grumpy

for 1d4 days.

14. Its a Cult of Baphomet tattoo codex.

15. Why, its a long lost copy of Paladin Kanamit Damons To Serve Man.

16. A full rendering of the life to date of a randomly-determined member

of the party, including innermost thoughts and feelings, and abstract

expressions of the most fleeting experiences and half-perceptions.

Leafing through, the text is seen to be writing itself, running on lineafter line, and the act of this reading appears. The number of pages

remaining may be of significance, and the corporeal relationship of

book and subject is unknown . . .

17. The book is a trap. If read, it will gradually steal all memories of the

reader and add them to itself after the last recorded page, in the form

of a story. It was originally read by those that were dying to preserve

their life.


5/12

18. A census of the realm, including the amount collected or owed in

taxes, rent, crops, etc. There is also an evaluation of each subjects

fealty to the current ruling power. Each PCs name appears in the

tome. There is a 35% chance that the information recorded for each

PC is incorrect.

19. Its a copy ofUncle Screwtapes Infernal-to-Common Travel

Dictionary.

20. Initially nothing, but a sharp reader may notice a slightly raised

surface on the spine that when depressed causes the pages to light up

and images appear, which may then be unlit in the same way. While

the tome is hardly portable, extensive study may reveal wonders,represented by further rolls on this table. Unfortunately the tome will

one day fail to respond. Further use will require discovery and

application of the flow of a property of subatomic particles producing

and interacting with a fundamental force.

21. That aint a bookits a dwarf Mimic!

22. Its not really a book. Its an elaborately disguised top to a chest. Its

meant for arcane types and scholars who likely leave many open

tomes in their workspace. Insert the key into the thin black space on

the conveniently placed writing implement, and the whole top of the

table, book included, will lift to reveal the storage area. (Roll again on

this table to determine the fake contents of this fake book.)

23. Its a Tome of Many Tongues.

24. Upon these pages are writ the dreams of the Jeliai the Prophet.

Known in his times as the dream scribe of King Aronus, Jeliai

possessed an unusual adeptness at interpreting the dreams of others

to predict right courses of actions. His own dreams, however, were

plagued with nightmares of choices wrongly made and future

catastrophes beyond his own time. Scholars and mages have been


6/12

arguing for ages over the correct interpretations of these recorded

dreams and Jeliais attempts at interpretation, which are often written

in vague snippets of doggerel poetry. (If the adventurers choose to

read a page, roll 1d4 on the following sub-table.)

1.If there is a bustle in the hedgerowDont be alarmed now;

Its just a spring cleanFor the May Queen.

2.

Were a ship without a storm.The cold without the warmLight inside the darkness that it needs;Were a laugh without a tearThe hope without the fear,We are coming home.Were off to the witch.

3.Generals gather at their massesJust like witches at black masses.

Evil minds that plot destruction

Sorcerers of deaths construction.In the fields the bodies burningAs the war machines keep turning.

4.God of thunder of rock and roll

The spell youre underWill slowly rob you of your virgin soul;Im the lord of the wastelands.

A modern man of steelI gather darkness to please meI command you to kneel.


7/12

25. A full page ad for the toxinInstaGlue:

It stucks on me,It stucks on you,It must be

InstaGlue!The book is then glued to the person reading it.

26. A full page ad for a new series of collectible, quick-summoning

monsters,InstaGrue:

It eats on me,It eats on you,

It must be

InstaGrue!It will then instantaneously summon forth a horrible grue of random

size.

27. A detailed and fully illustrated instruction manual for Githzerai

martial arts.

28. A pornographic romance novel written in Dwarvish. If the PCs decide

to read a page, they will find one of the passages found at Uncle

Walters Bad Romance Novel Quotes.

29. Thats pretty stupid. As you open the tome, a fist appears between the

pages and punch you in your face! Just like a Jack in the Box. Using

the right formula (Klaatu,Burada, Nicto!), allows you to actually

disarm the punching fist and read the book. Roll again on the table to

find out about content.

30. The book is a colony of tiny wormlike creatures which formthemselves into characters and images in line with pheromonal

signals sent by the queen living in the binding. The queen herself is

channelling a far vaster consciousness. Part of the colony may migrate

with the reader.

Tome of Many Tongues

The Tome of Many Tongues is an ancient tome written by a large number

of different magic-users, clerics and sages over a period of some thousand

years. The book always looks and feels old, but never seems to further age.

It is remarkably tough, despite its fragile appearance, and makes any saves

as though it were a 10th level cleric.

A magic-user or cleric can use the book to learn a language, for a limited

time, and only the ability to read said language. They must have a copy of

that language written down, as an example of the text. Flipping through the

tome takes 1d6 rounds until the right language is found, and then a further

round to absorb the knowledge contained inside. The user can then read

that language for a number of hours equal to their Intelligenceand have a 1

in 20 chance of being able to read the language forever after (once chance

only, regardless of how many times that particular language is accessed).
