6d12 System

The 6d12 method as a quick way of generating adventure elements on the fly, and works particularly fine on its own for wilderness or dungeon exploration. It makes use of 6 differently coloured d12s to generate content whenever entering a new area, using a series of roll tables: Monsters, Clues, Environmental Features, NPCs, Treasure / Items, and Events.

• DM Yourselves

Every time you enter a new area, you roll all 6 coloured d12's at once, and see what is triggered or generated in the area. You can also use The Oracle or keyword tools to provide additional details as needed, as well. Regardless, the intent is to use the tables to furnish details for everything you see- and whatever you don’t see.

The Keyword System is a collection of random, fantasy oriented words that have been neatly organized into a rollable table for use during play. You can roll any number, and any number of combinations, from the table whenever you get stuck and need some assistance or inspiration; use them in association with oracle rolls as a jumping off point for where to take a Quest, or something else.
To use the Keyword System, roll 1d8 and 1d100 to form a full, three digit number. For example, a 4 on a d8 and a 17 on a d100 would equal the number 417- which corresponds to the word "Noxious" on the table; the exception is the 8 on the d8. That defaults to the 0 to 99 range instead; alternatively you can use a random generator to generate the number of Keywords you'd like.
You can generate- or roll- as many Keywords as you wish whenever you need them. Think about what they could mean in the context of your character's current predicament, and go from there (feel free to also discard any that simply don't work, or re-roll / re-generate any you don't like the only real limit is your own imagination.

The Oracle

The Oracle is a bit like a Magic 8 Ball, a faceless pseudo-DM intended for use whenever you're uninspired or just don't want to come up with the answers yourself; it allows you to ask questions you'd typically ask a DM in normal play, and randomly generate the answers (and occasionally results) if you so desire. The questions you ask the Oracle, however, need to be framed in such a way that they can be answered with one of the following three words: Yes, No, or Maybe ... But these aren't actually the extent of the answers you can receive.

Oracle

[["1","No, and"],["2","No, and"],["3","No"],["4","No"],["5","No"],["6","No"],["7","No"],["8","No, but"],["9","No, but"],["10","Maybe (rephrase, skill check, or reroll as desired)"],["11","Yes, but"],["12","Yes, but"],["13","Yes"],["14","Yes"],["15","Yes"],["16","Yes"],["17","Yes"],["18","Yes"],["19","Yes, and"],["20","Yes, and"]] Roll the Dice

1	No, and
2	No, and
3	No
4	No
5	No
6	No
7	No
8	No, but
9	No, but
10	Maybe (rephrase, skill check, or reroll as desired)
11	Yes, but
12	Yes, but
13	Yes
14	Yes
15	Yes
16	Yes
17	Yes
18	Yes
19	Yes, and
20	Yes, and

If your result is "Maybe", then there's some kind of condition that needs to be fulfilled first, depending on the context. This may be a skill check- or, it could be that another question needs to be asked to determine it. It could also mean you simply didn't ask the right question in the first place.
When you get a "No, but" or a "Yes, and" (or some similar result) it indicates something else is going on; that there's more than meets the eye in the situation. You'll need to figure this out or interpret it yourself based on the circumstances of play, however- or you can simply ask more questions of the Oracle (there's no limit to its use), or tap into other tables and tools available to you to generate the rest of the answers.

The Oracle can't answer everything. If you do have a specific question that can't be answered using the Yes / No / Maybe system of the Oracle, then use the Keyword System instead; the list of 499 verbs on the Situation rolltable can expecially be helpful in losely forumlating answers to situations where you can't ask the Oracle.
Example: Your character comes across a deserted battlefield and wants to search the area. The Investigation roll is a 19, definitely turning up something- but what? That's not a question the Oracle can answer. Rolling on the Situation (Verbs) table, the result is the word "bribe", which you can relate to "payment"- deciding that the winning force is a paid band of Mercenaries, due to the assassin-like wounds on the bodies of the defeated army; a reach was necessary, but it provided an interesting plot hook that sends you on to a nearby town where the story behind this slaughter may be uncovered if you desire.

Hindsight

Without a DM to guide or influence you, you may miss out on a lot of things- especially when running a module designed for a group, or for use with a DM. Sometimes, especially, you'll make a decision based on (say) the standard boxed location description, but on further reading you discover something else about the room that would have changed your initial behavior. But you can't go back now --- or can you?
Hindsight allows you to make Binding Decisions after you've read any full descriptions or otherwise had a chance to get all of the information you'd traditionally get from a DM- or change your decision after the discovery of important information you didn't previously have, as if you'd made that choice beforehand; a decent DM, after all, often wouldn't let you just blunder unawares into a trap, or miss a significant piece of treasure they spent forever making for you.
There are limits to using Hindsight, however. You only get 2 uses per long rest, first of all. Secondly, if the action would typically require a skill check, then you roll with disadvantage- and if the action wouldn't normally require a skill check, then you must still make a DC10 skill check using the most appropriate skill.

If you're playing a module or other pre-mad adventure, then most of the time you'll be making ability checks where the DC has already been given to you in the adventure's instructions. However, if you want to do something where no DC is given for a task, and you're not sure about what the difficulty of the task should be? Using dice or a generator to set the task's difficulty by chance (rather than fumbling to decide for yourself) can be an easy way to move the game along faster and far more smoothly.

Some interactions with individuals, as well as various tasks that one needs to complete, also come with risk to the player's character. In these instances, again, stakes may already have been determined by the adventure if one is playing a pre-made module. But in cases where the stakes are unknown, or one is playing their own game, it may likewise help players to roll or use a generator to determine what those stakes may be- whether that's none at all, a net benefit, or even potential imanent death (either to you, or or an NPC).

Failure sometimes comes with a price, while success may sometimes come with a boon. Which one you get depends on wich way the pendulum swung- in your favor, or against it. Sometimes it's more fun to let the dice fall where they may with that, too.

Failure's Price

Plot Points

Each player begins the campaign with one Plot Point. These points are used to "purchase" resources, create npcs, decide facts about a location, or otherwise affect the world in ways outside of direct gameplay, in a manner that can aid the party in play or change the landscape of the campaign setting within reason.
Players may only have 1 Plot Point at a time, and may only spend their points on one of the 4 options listed below; they may not be used to alter ecosystems, established history, or other major factors of the setting- though they can be used to augment them.

▼ I Have That! ▼

When traveling, players have a wagon in which any of their survival supplies and general objects (lanterns, rations, and so on) are stored. In any situation where it makes sense to do so, a player may spend 1 plot point to declare that their character "already has that" in the wagon.
Upon declaration that the item exists in the possession of the player, the character may determine when and where they purchased the item- within reason. However, the item must be of a common type that is easily obtained, and must be directly relevant to the situation in which the declaration is made when the item is needed.
Once declared, the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the item (as told by the player) are considered a cannon part of the world and the party's history.

▼ I Did That! ▼

At any point during play, players may spend a Plot Point in order to "flashback" in time to perform an action in the past, which prepares them for a current situation they find themselves in- such as bribing the Captain of the Guard to cancel the Night Watch that afternoon, when they find themselves needing to sneak into the Mage's Tower tonight.
Upon declaration "they've done that", the event is considered a canon part of the party's history and play and treated accordingly. However, the player who declares the event must roll a 1d100 to see how it impacts the current situation; on result higher than 60, the result is positive for the party. Below 40, and the result is negative. Roll between a 40 and 60, however, and the final result is up in the air.
The party then "flashes back" to the present to finish resolving their current situation depending on the results.

▼ I Know A Guy! ▼

In any situation where it makes sense to do so, a player may spend 1 plot point to declare that their character "knows a guy". They may then determine the name, gender, and race of the newly created npc as well as how they know them (fewer details are better, leaving room for the DM to elaborate and add interest).
Upon declaration that the npc exists, the npc is considered a cannon part of the world and the character's backstory and is treated accordingly. However, the player who declares the npc must roll a 1d100 in order to verify the status of their relationship; on result higher than 50, they are considered on good terms. Below 50, and the npc will have a bad relationship with their character.

▼ I've Been Here! ▼

In any situation where it makes sense to do so (such as entering a new town, or entering a place where a character has spent a significant amount of past time), a player may spend 1 plot point to declare that their character "has been here before".
Once declared, the player may then determine 3 reasonable facts about the location- such as shops that may exist in the area, festivals they celebrate, Gods they worship, the primary racial makeup of the area, its history, or any events that may have happened there, etc... These facts are considered a cannon part of the world and the character's backstory, and are treated accordingly.

Plot Armor

This is the failsafe ... It's the nuclear option ... The final get-out-of-jail-free card you can pull when all else fails you.

The simplest explanation of the Plot Armor mechanic is this: Whenever your character is about to die, they don't --- or, if your party is about to be wiped out, they aren’t ... However, it’s also not that easy. There must always be a story to explain how you survived, and there must always be (usually dire) consequences for actually doing so. It's not normal to survive extraordinary circumstances, after all.

You don't have to wait until you’re "dead" to activate it ... It's often narratively more satisfying to do it a few beats earlier- such using the last of your strength to jump from the cliff as the horde surrounds you, rather than die by their hands.

3	During the fight your money bag gets ripped open. Coins spill to the floor, sending the enemies scurrying to pick them up while you slip away in the confusion – lose 50g (or all your money if you have less than that) in addition to the other consequences.
4	Sparks generated by a clash of weapon against armour or from a stray magic effect hit your opponent directly in the eye. Just for a few seconds they are blinded – not long enough for you to finish them off, but just long enough for you to get away (though not very far).
5	The City Watch or Patrol is alerted by the sound of battle and approaches, chasing off your attackers (if you’re not in town, it could be an army patrol, a local vigilante group or another authority force that helps you)
6	Whether by some powerful fae magic or hallucinatory intoxicant – it was all an illusion!
7	An environmental event – a rockfall, rolling mist, a dust cloud, smoke from a nearby fire – obscures the scene of battle long enough for you to slip away
8	All hope lost, you play dead. The enemy is arrogant or stupid enough to fall for it. The enemies leave you for dead – you wake up d4 hours later on 1 hp
9	When you go over the cliff, you miraculously fall into the river, or catch hold of a root
10	The enemies stop short of killing you, for reasons as yet unknown
11	You duck behind a rock at the exact moment the dragon breathes fire, and hide there
12	The floor/ground/bridge gives way beneath you, saving you from the killing blow and depositing you somewhere out of harm’s way (for now!)
13	The enemy, in their cruelty, decide they would rather you live severely wounded than die quickly
14	Your Wild Magic/Patron/Deity/Angelic Guide intervenes, whether by accident or design
15	What would have been a fatal blow clips one of the other enemies instead, a mass brawl breaks out and you crawl away in the confusion

1	Your sidekick is dead. Maybe they stepped in front of you, or pushed you out of the way and took the fatal damage in your place, perhaps you’ll never know.
2	When they leave you for dead, the enemies steal all your money
3	As above, but they steal d3 of your best magical items/weapons/armour (i.e. the ones you use most – decide ties by cost/rarity)
4	You are tied up in dungeon cell or at your attackers’ camp. How do you escape?
5	You are maimed, and suffer disadvantage on all Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength ability checks and saving throws. This condition can only be healed by a Greater Restoration
6	The trauma of what happened stays with you. Roll a d6 – you gain a (1–3) Long-Term Madness or (4–6) Indefinite Madness (roll on the relevant table on DMG pg. 260, and read the Madness rules)
7	The Wild Magic/Patron/Deity/Angelic Guide that saved you also curses you (roll on the Minor Detrimental Properties table, DMG pg. 220; apply effects as if you were attuned to the artifact) or places you under a Geas (PHB, pg. 244) with no saving roll, in which case you as GM will need to make a judgement on what would be a suitable command
8	Your best magical item/weapon/armour took the brunt of what should have been the killing blow and was shattered. It cannot be mended
9	You are lost. You have absolutely no idea where you are.
10	Time has passed. If you were knocked unconscious, it takes 3d12 hours before you properly awaken. If you are bound or imprisoned, it is 3d6 days before you can make your escape.
11	All you can do is watch in horror as one of your party (a Sidekick) is executed.
12	Due to physical or mental trauma or some magical effect, you have no memory of what has happened in the last 24 hours (and you cannot use any information gained during that time).
13	Whether real or imagined, something bad happened during the fight which caused someone to question their loyalties. Randomly choose a Sidekick and roll a d6. On a 1-3, they simply get up and walk away from the party. On a 4-6, randomly choose another member of the party; that Sidekick now regards the other party member with Hatred (though they keep this a secret until a time comes when they can betray them).
14	Although you do not realise it now (and may not for some time), your actions in the preceding fight have resulted in you making a powerful enemy.
15	In the chaos you’ve become separated, inadvertently splitting the party! Try to split the party as evenly as possible (in terms of number of PCs and Sidekicks). If there is more than one way out of the location where the Plot-Armour-triggering encounter happened, send one half of the party down one exit and one down another. Alternatively, if you are in a multi-level dungeon, have one half drop down to the location below. Each half of the party must have at least one encounter before they can be reunited.
16	The encounter you survived was a particularly rough one. For every potion owned by the party, roll a d6. On a 1-3, the potion is smashed. If the encounter took place against a fire-breathing creature or in an environment where there is lava or fire, do this process for scrolls instead.

Mechanically, there's a time limit to using it. So before you activate your Plot Armor, take the time to really think through an interesting and imaginative reason for why and how your character has survived instead of dying. If, after 1 minute of activating it, you still haven’t come up with a convincing escape? Then it’s Game Over for your character.
Plot Armor can only be used 1 time per level, and no more than 5 times in total, ever, in your character's entire lifetime. You can also make the decision to activate your own Plot Armor to save your entire party from a TPK- but if you have to use it to save the party from a TPK in this way, however? Be aware that every player must then mark a use off their sheets.
