d100 - Fascinating Fruits or Bewitched Berries

Many of my Tables seem to revolve around Plants in some way, but I noticed that I didn’t have one devoted specifically to the potential Magical Effects of some of the Fruits or Berries of these. Since these are usually “Single-Use” Items they can definitely be an interesting Resource to plant in some of those Wildernesses (and maybe even some more atypical Dungeons!) As with most of these Tables, I often like to include Properties that might serve as specific Solutions for hereto Unknown Problems/Challenges. It’s awfully fun to see what Creative Applications the Players might come up with, but as always, feel free to season these to taste for your table.

I needed quite a bit of space in the entries for the effects, but should a Name be needed, I can see these being quite useful with my Magical Plant & Herb Generator, as well as my Fantasy Tree Generator. At some point in the future, I can even see these effects being combined with entries from other, related Tables in one of my Perchance Generators to cut down on the need to toss and tabulate those d10s so much.

Fruit with Magical Properties like this has a lot of folkloric resonance to me, but unfortunately, I couldn’t wait until another Fairy Tale Friday to publish this one!

d100 – Dungeon Flora

Sometimes, when Stocking a Dungeon Room or Corridor I find myself at a loss at what to do with an otherwise “unremarkable” area. Occasionally, I’ll decorate these with a little bit of harmless spelean flora or fungi, remarkably thriving somehow in those dank and dark locations. Usually, this is just for a bit of flavor, a way to distinguish this place from the next, but occasionally these have ended up serving as Welcome Waypoints or Lucky “Landmarks” in musty Mazes or other particularly perplexing Places. This is just one example of how that off-the-cuff “fluff” can end up becoming much more fictionally relevant for an attentive Player. However, one must always be wary that these decorative distractions do not consume too much precious Time or Resources.

Here are a Hundred Sample Specimens of these Peculiar Plants that one might find growing in those depths:
