Agreed! It really helps pin down the role the random table is playing — another way to “disclaim decision-making,” to quote a PbtA concept. There’s some great oracles online for In A Wicked Age too, which is the game where I first saw the term used this way. 

Oh nice, will have to look into that.

Also, have you heard of Decuma? It's basically all the character ties and world building style questions from PBTA games on tarot cards that you can use for whatever RPG you're playing as part of a Session Zero.

I have! It's def on my list to check out; I'm a fan of that type of RPG tool for sure.

I know that there are a bunch of the Happy Jack's Actual plays that have been making use of it if you want to see it in action.
