INTRODUCTION
October 21, 2015.

This is just a list of tables for either randomly generating interesting versions of classic monsters and villains or for inspiration while improvising or
planning a session. I tend to use something like this as something in between. I’ll often have lists like this on paper in front of me in a session where
the PCs are likely to run into one or more of these. When something comes up, I’ll grab some things off the lists (often without rolling). Then I will
improvise the rest, as needed.

Included here are:

- Goblin gangs, when encountered in groups, these troublemakers and pranksters can be deadly and frightening.
- Lycanthropes, the gamut of humanoids that transform into beasts and hunt in packs or as individuals, from werewolves to unusual varieties.
- Restless undead, when someone’s spirit lingers in the world to create a ghost, ghoul, specter, wight, wraith, or zombie.
- Serial killers, the monsters among us who kill because its in their nature, harboring a heart of evil beyond all reason.
- Vampires, whose dark powers come with the curse of forever hungering for the blood of the living.
- Witches, who delve into the secrets of dark magic, mastering foul hexes, powers of foretelling, and unusual potions.

These tables are not tied to a specific game or system, but I’m currently using them my own 5th Edition game.

I want to thank everyone at /r/DnDBehindTheScreen for encouragement and positive feedback on these tables. I especially want to thank
/u/laplanters and /u/Akuma_Reiten, whose recent posts inspired portions of the lycanthrope and restless undead tables.

Thanks for reading! Get creative! And enjoy!
