5e dmg loot tables printable6/1/2023 60% of the time the pit is simply an empty pit to my mind, the point of rolling on a table like this is when you want something other than an empty pit. I got unreasonably excited by this when I saw the article, but unfortunately the tables themselves aren’t much use if we want to generate interesting results. What follows are a series of random roll tables to help determine what might actually be in the pit. One of those things crops up in Issue #15 in the form of an article entitled “PITS” by Richard Morenoff, which presents “A set of charts to help the dungeon master when player characters or monsters fall into a pit”. As well as being a fascinating glimpse into the history and development of this hobby that I love so much, I’ve also been finding some useful things among those pages – and some things that could be useful, but fall a little short of the mark. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll have seen that I’ve been working my way through back issues of Dragon Magazine, beginning at issue #1. While you’re here – it’s my birthday this week, so all of my games on itch.io are currently on sale. I’ve re-posted it with updated artwork, but haven’t changed anything about the post itself.
