In this inaugural post to Omega Dungeon, I decided to start with what is probably one of the more infamous random tables in D&D history: The Harlot Encounter Table. This beauty originally appeared in the 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide. In my mind, it’s a classic of Gygaxian vocabulary, and something that is instantly recognizable as “old-school”.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the table was re-imagined in OSRIC 2 as the “Red Light Professions” table. It actually featured more options there than in the original table, and some new adjectives and nouns were thrown in as well as having some removed. Also, the order of the table was rearranged as well.

I figured this would be a good test of what I wanted to do with this site, so I decided to a bit of a “mashup” of the two tables. If you want to read more about how I did it, there’s more below the generator.

In the meantime, enjoy your random harlot!
