Pythia on Paper Actors Plots

This is part of my attempt to convert some of Pythia’s more useful random generators into rollable charts.
Pythia on Paper: Actors & Plots
This one covers some of the random generators available on the actor and plot panels.
-
The connection/emotion between two actors, or an actor and a group, or an actor and a place.
-
A motive generator so your monsters and villains have a reason for what they do and a target for it.
-
Ten different plot structures and the tables to fill them out, like demented MadLibs.
-
A plot web creator based on what one NPC did or wants to do to another, with a handy fillable grid.
-
Lots of fillable fields just because.
My hope is that this will be useful to those folks who have no need for a software tool but might be curious about Pythia’s built-in generators.
Having a script to choose elements means a couple of things; first, you aren’t limited by any particular number of elements, and second, it’s really, really easy to roll up a bunch of elements at once.
Hopefully none of these are too annoying to fill out, given that you only need to do the longer ones when setting up the scenario.
