I have written extensively on this blog already about the simple D6 Oracle I use for my solo D&D campaigns. I have written about the D6 Oracle itself, how to use it with word tables, and how to create those word tables, previously.
In this post I want to show you how I combine the workhorse of encounters, the reaction roll, and an Oracle-like Why table.

In Short: Using multiple word tables gives you the best options when using them to find the “why” when your oracle gives you a simple yes/no answer. Download my word tables at the end of the post.
Word tables are an integral tool in my solo roleplaying toolkit.
They allow me to find out the ‘why’ when the oracle gives me an answer.
I use a simple D6 Oracle and so there are often times I need more information than a simple yes/no.
And this is where word tables really shine.
Something I’ve added to my D&D solo 3.0 campaign, but something that would work for any D&D campaign, no matter what edition, is to not allow clerics to use magical healing between adventures.
Issue 46 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out!
Issue 46 is the Dark Cults issue. It features articles on:
I’ve been thinking about Dungeons & Dragons classes lately. And I think fewer classes is better for the game.

Issue 45 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out!
Issue 45 is the Weird Places issue. It will feature articles on weird demi-planes, a number of fey realms, a D100 table of strange encounters and happenings, and much more! (See below for details).
Given Dungeons & Dragons 3e has been around for 25 year this year, I thought it was time to bring back my D&D 3.0e campaign.
I started this campaign back in 2023 as a small dungeon crawl underneath the city-state of Myrbridge (you can find information about Myrbridge in Issue 42 of d12 Monthly).
One of the areas in Dungeons & Dragons 3e that are sorely misunderstood and misused are Prestige Classes – even in the official books!
They were created for use by the GM as a worldbuilding tool, not to fill up splat books.
The issue with the published prestige classes is that they were designed to be too general (except for some of the racial ones), which is the antithesis of what they were supposed to be – that is, specific to the individual GM’s campaign world.
