I thought of another use for sparks for games like cairn and so on

Consider the event table:

Now, we run the basic spark procedure as usual. Let’s name our Spark “Dungeon Events”

The difference is, every line I add, unlocks a event from the table. So at 1 I am going to get an encounter if I roll 1, but if I have 4 lines and roll 3, I get the entry number 3 from the table.

Now, what happens if I marked all 5 lines and roll a 6? I suppose some majour event such as encountering a BBEG or something.

I’ll test it and let you know how it went :)

Here’s another bit.

1 is always an encounter. The more lines you have on the Spark, the bigger or meaner the encounter.

Say

Giant rabid rat
Swarm of 1d6+1 rabid rats
A sole plaguemonger, looking for vermin to infect
Rat king, rabid, ravenous
1d6 plaguemongers + 1d6 obedient rabid rats
The Rabid Mother, whose misery we shall know

So if I have a spark with 3 lines in and roll 1, I’ll find the spark plaguemonger.

If I fill the apark and roll 5, I get entry 5, but if I run 6 I get a surprise early encou ter with the dungeon tyrant, the Plague Mother.

The idea is to scaffold as much info in as few rolls as possible.

I hope it’s, clear, hit me up with questions :)

Yup, super clear! It’s a Threat spark combined with an Escalation Spark, I love it so much! You should publish those, I’d love to give it a boost!
