30 D30 30 Charts & Tables that make the most of your biggest Die
Yes I’ve been away from this blog for a while. I do plan on making a return. But I’ve been busy with my home-based business, Alien Graphics.
I’ve also been writing. My new book is available from RPGNow.com 30 D30: 30 Charts & Tables that make the most of your biggest Die http://www.rpgnow.com/product/102089. It’s only $5.
Inside you’ll find every D30 chart ever published on this blog as well as several new ones.
Such as:
30 Dreams & Nightmares
- You are trapped in a maze of cardboard boxes that you cannot escape from (This actually happened to a PC in the Quest for the Staff of Genesis) Gerrit Nibbelink reminded me.
- You are fighting a dragon in your underwear
- Your mother-in-law has joined the party
- There’s no more beer
- You found the treasure trove but cannot get inside
- Your armor vanishes in the midst of battle
- There is a cat on you at all times and is constantly wanting your attention

Okay, I have a couple of questions before I buy!
1. Does it come with a d30? I can’t find mine, and the FLGS is out.
2. The lists of Saints and Artists and so on, are they real people? From history? Or made up? What level of fictitiousness are we talking about here?? 🙂
We are in the process of getting some more D30s (I have 1 left and was going to put it and the book up on eBay today).
The Saints and Artists may bear some resemblance to actual historical figures but most of them are veiled pop-culture references. They are by no means platform specific and can be tailored to whatever system you are playing.
Also, that link has been taken down by the original publisher. I do have physical copies on sale now. Contact me at aliengraphics417@gmail.com for more info.
Thanks!
