Tome of Tables: Wizards and Weirdness (Volume 1) is pure magic for anyone running a fantasy RPG. It’s bursting with d20 and d100 tables that make every session unpredictable, creative, and wildly fun — from chaotic spell failures to talking towers and rebellious familiars.

What makes it shine is how usable it is. Every table sparks ideas instantly — you can flip to a random page mid-game and have a clever twist or hilarious disaster ready in seconds. It’s system-neutral too, so whether you’re running D&D, Pathfinder, or your own homebrew, it slides right in without extra prep.

The writing is sharp, the tone perfectly balanced between clever and chaotic, and the layout keeps everything practical for real play. Some tables are funny, others eerie, and a few genuinely brilliant for story hooks — exactly the kind of variety GMs love.

In short: this isn’t just a book of random tables; it’s an imagination engine. A must-have for anyone who wants their magic a little weirder, wilder, and wonderfully unpredictable.

A highly practical toolkit for Game Masters and solo players alike. The system-neutral design makes it incredibly easy to roll up instant wizard towers, quirky NPCs, or magical mishaps on the fly, regardless of the game engine you use. The content itself is creative and robust, offering genuine variety for campaign prep.
However, the experience feels a bit dry visually. The lack of graphics or illustrations is a missed opportunity; some artwork would have significantly boosted the immersion and fun factor. It is still a great utility, just not a visual one.

Whenever I need something fast during a game, this delivers. It’s simple to roll and immediately have something cool to describe. The tower and NPC tables get the most use at my table. There’s a huge amount of replay value since every roll brings new possibilities. It’s compact but dense with content. The randomness keeps things from feeling stale, and it always adds a spark of excitement when I use it mid-session.

As a Dungeon Master shared this with my son who regularly has his mates play D&D. The feedback was Vol 1 & 2 was invaluable when he was looking to rule on matters during the campaign.
