Random tables that live in the game
StarterEvery GM has a document of tables: wandering monsters, what's in the pouch, tavern names, what the weather does. They live in a different window to the game, and rolling one means alt-tabbing, finding the row, and reading it out. RollQuest keeps them in the session.
Weight is the only thing you maintain
Most table tools make you keep two things in sync: the die you roll and the ranges each entry covers. Add an entry and you're renumbering a column.
Here, each entry has a weight - how many faces of the die it owns. The die size, the ranges and the odds are all derived from that. An entry with weight 3 is three times as likely as one with weight 1, and adding a fourth entry doesn't make you touch the other three.
If you do want a specific die - a 2d6 table and its bell curve, say, because the middle results should be common - there's a formula field for hanging the table off a roll the system already makes.
Rolling one
From the panel, or from chat with /table. The result comes back as a card in the chat log, so it's part of the session record rather than something you said out loud and nobody wrote down.
You choose where the result goes. Roll it in the open when the table is part of the fun - a wild magic surge everyone wants to see. Roll it in secret when the result should stay behind the screen, and nobody sees anything at all.
You can also share a table with your players, so the party can roll on the carousing table themselves, or keep it to yourself.
The roll is real
Rolls happen on the server, from a cryptographic random source, and the panel never decides an outcome - it only says where the result should go. That matters for the same reason 3D dice landing physically on the table matters: a random result that the person running the game could have nudged isn't quite the same thing.
Works with
Campaign journal keeps the session notes your table results become part of.
Chat is where /table lives, alongside rolls and whispers.
Game systems and content packs can carry tables, so a pack you load can bring its own.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan has rollable tables?
Starter and Pro.
Can players roll on my tables?
Only if you share the table with them. Unshared tables are yours alone.
Can I roll without the players seeing?
Yes. A secret roll shows the result to you and nothing to anyone else.
Do I have to pick a die size?
No. The die is worked out from the weights you give the entries. There's a formula field if you want to override that.
Can I roll a table from chat?
Yes, with /table.

Rollable tables are on Starter. Paste in a table you already have, give each row a weight, and roll it in the next session.
