On Never Being Able to Find a Table When You Need One

So, this blog is a resource for me (blog roll, links, etc.) with stuff for other people just being a side benefit. Traditionally I run 1st edition, hence why there's a big psionicist writeup for 1st edition on the right (putting all the rules in one place, etc.)

I see lots of awesome tables and such on various blogs - but never quite where I need them. I'm going to use this post to collect them in one place whenever I run across them.  You can find many of my own random tables in my Treasure (many random treasure & good types) and Artifces, Deceptions & Dilemmas (100 things found in pits, 100 interesting corridors, infinite magical fountains and more!) .

Making this list, I'm considering organizing them by theme.
