Random Tables

Random Tables are a powerful way to generate inspiration, events, loot, or answers in your game. PUM makes it easy to create, import, and use random tables for any purpose.

What are Random Tables?

A random table is a list of possible results. When you roll on the table, you get a random entry—perfect for oracles, encounters, or creative prompts.

Creating Tables

  • Create your own tables in the app, or upload from a .txt file.
  • Use the .pumt format for community-shared tables.
  • Find the Random Tables menu in the oracles panel.
