Generate D&D roll tables with weighted entries, any die size, and themed results — random encounters, loot, tavern rumors, wild magic (100+ outcomes), weather, and world events. The fastest random table generator for DMs who want prepared chaos, not flat d20 lists.
The random tables you find online are flat lists — twenty entries with the same weight, no theme, no escalation. You need a frostbitten encounter table that knows it's in a mountain pass, a tavern rumor list where each entry hints at the next, a loot table scaled to the tier your party is actually playing. WorldSmith builds roll tables that match the moment, not just fill a page.
Most random table generators give you a single die roll and walk away. WorldSmith builds weighted entries so common results actually feel common, categorized output so a hexcrawl table doesn't mix forest beasts with desert raiders, and themed results that follow the table's purpose. Whether you need a quick d12 for tonight's session or a d100 wild magic table you'll use across a campaign, this is the random table generator built for how 5e games actually run — fast prep, repeatable rolls, no dead entries.
Pick the theme, table size, and dice type from the built-in dropdowns. Lock in the structure before writing entries.
Each example is a complete random table you can drop straight into a session — encounters, rumors, magic, and more.
A d12 alpine encounter table for tier-1 to tier-2 parties crossing a perilous mountain pass. Mixes weather, predators, and political incidents into one roll.
Remix Frostspine Pass Encounter TableA d20 rumor table for a port-city tavern in a politically tense kingdom. Entries cross-reference each other so multiple rolls reveal a connected web of intrigue.
Remix The Shattered Crown — Tavern Rumor TableA d100 wild magic surge table for sorcerers, cursed artifacts, and chaos-aligned campaigns. Effects span comedy, combat utility, and reality-bending consequences.
Remix Wild Magic Backlash (d100)A d10 loot table for the aftermath of a tier-1 goblin warband encounter. Mostly mundane, occasionally weird, with one campaign-hook entry buried in the rare slot.
Remix Goblin Warband Loot Table (Tier 1)A d20 per-hex discovery table for the Feywild — bargain spirits, drifting glades, time-warped meadows, and one entry that drops the party into a different season.
Remix Feywild Discovery Table (Hexcrawl)A d12 tavern menu table — drinks, daily specials, and the one entry that's "the thing the cook is hiding from the health inspector this week."
Remix Tavern Drinks & Menu (d12)A per-week roll table for what each major faction is up to in a sandbox campaign — overt moves, covert moves, internal disputes, and rare faction-shifting events.
Remix Faction Weekly Activity TableWorldSmith generates roll tables across every situation that comes up at the screen — from quick encounter rolls to multi-page wild magic surges. Choose from built-in table types or describe your own.
Biome-aware encounter tables scaled to party tier — frost giants in alpine passes, fey courts in deep forests, wraiths in war-cursed marshes. Every entry includes enough flavor to drop into the session without rewriting it on the fly.
Tier-aligned loot tables that match the threat the party just defeated — bandit caches, dragon hoards, cult ritual sites, planar refuse. Mundane, magical, and narrative loot weighted so every roll feels earned, not random.
Rumor tables where entries connect to each other — whispers, sightings, confrontations — so every roll can become a hook the players actually pull on. Built for hub towns and quest-board sessions.
d100 wild magic tables for sorcerers, surge-prone artifacts, or chaos-aligned campaigns. 100+ outcomes ranging from comedic to combat-altering, with mechanical clarity so they resolve without slowing the table.
Travel encounter tables that mix weather, terrain, and incidents into one roll. Built for hexcrawls, overland journeys, and any campaign where getting somewhere is half the story.
Per-hex discovery tables — ruins, hidden shrines, abandoned camps, monster lairs — themed to your sandbox region. Designed for sandbox campaigns where exploration drives the session.
Per-turn or per-week faction event tables for sandbox and political campaigns. What did the cultists do this week? What rumor did the merchant guild spread? Built for living-world play.
Tables of accents, tics, professions, and signature phrases for instant NPC differentiation. Roll once when a stranger walks in and never run another generic shopkeeper again.
Real session prep problems, solved with random tables you can roll on tonight.

A roll table is a list of outcomes tied to dice results — roll a d20, match the number to an entry, and apply the result. DMs use roll tables for random encounters, loot drops, weather, rumors, wild magic surges, and any situation where you want variety without scripting every possibility. WorldSmith generates tables with weighted entries, themed results, and any die size from d4 to d100.
Pick your party level and biome, then build a table with CR-appropriate creatures weighted by frequency. Common encounters (patrols, wildlife) should occupy 60-70% of the table, rare encounters (boss-tier threats) stay at 5-10%. WorldSmith handles the CR scaling and weighting automatically — just pick your theme and generate.
Weighted tables let you control probability — a "patrol passing through" can be 6 entries on a d20 while a "wyvern attack" stays at 1. This makes common results actually feel common and rare outcomes memorable. WorldSmith builds weighted entries into every table so you don't have to pad with duplicate rows or merge outcomes awkwardly.
Start with the party tier, then weight entries by rarity — common loot (coins, mundane gear) should be 50-60% of the table, uncommon magic items 20-30%, rare items 10-15%, very rare 5%. WorldSmith generates loot tables with gold-value ranges and rarity distribution already balanced to your party level.
The best wild magic tables mix mechanical effects (hit point swings, condition changes), cosmetic chaos (hair color, voice pitch), and rare reality-warping events (gravity reversal, planar leakage). WorldSmith generates 100+ wild magic outcomes across all three categories, fully customizable to your campaign tone.
Percentile dice (d100) use two d10s — one for tens, one for ones — to roll 1-100. d100 tables are used for wild magic surges, critical hit effects, loot hoards, and any situation needing 100 distinct outcomes. WorldSmith auto-formats d100 tables with proper percentile ranges so you can roll and resolve immediately.
A d100 table has 100 entries, one for each possible roll on percentile dice. You roll two d10s (one for tens, one for ones) to get a result from 1-100, then look up the matching entry. WorldSmith generates d100 tables for wild magic, critical effects, and any other situation where you need maximum variety.
The Player's Handbook includes a 50-entry wild magic table. WorldSmith generates 100+ entry wild magic tables with effects ranging from comedic to reality-bending, fully customizable to your campaign tone. Export to PDF or share a link with your table for instant access.
Use CR as your guide — level 1 parties face CR 0-1/4 creatures, level 5 parties face CR 2-5, level 10 parties face CR 5-10. WorldSmith filters encounters by party level and CR automatically, so every table entry is appropriately scaled to your party tier.
No. WorldSmith replaces templates — just pick a preset (encounters, loot, rumors, wild magic, weather), customize the entries, and export to PDF. No spreadsheet needed, no formatting headaches, no padding with duplicate rows to hit a die size.
Roll tables are scaffolding — the encounters, monsters, items, and NPCs they reference are the payoff. Build them all in WorldSmith.
