One-roll SF writing prompt

Posted byChrisAiriauPosted inFiction Craft, Sci-Fi FridaysTags:, , , , ,

Hello, Today for SciFiFriday, I thought I would share my SF writing prompt roll sheet. When I need to write, and want to work independent from my inspiration, I get out my dice, and make one roll.

Here’s my writing prompt generator, all prettied up.

The inspiration for this table comes from Kevin Crawford’s OSR TTRPG, Stars Without Number. (The offset print edition is on sale now.) If you’d like to learn more about the game, see my previous post that briefly covers SWN.

I’m thinking about expanding this writing prompt generator to the other Tools of Fiction, if the table generates any interest.

That’s all for today, happy SciFi Friday!
