July Secret Bonus Table: Quarantine Projects
Still getting caught up on things I guess, but here's the July bonus table, which is for generating ideas for things to do the kill time while in lockdown!

Back to the Rifter Preview
I haven't actually figured out a proper title, but reading Ryan North's B^F (where he gives an in-depth review of the bonkers novelization of Back to the Future) got me inspired to do something similar with Rifts. (A...

I have a certain appreciation for surrealist films from the likes of Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch, so after struggling to figure out a theme for this month's Secret Bonus Table, I settled on that. What acid trip will you go on today?

June Table Pack: Mad Science Fiction
Cutting it a little close this month, eh Ewen? Well yes. But anyway. Here's this month's table pack, which is a collection of tables for scientifically dubious sci-fi stuff, probably because I've been messing with Zaptacular (that RPG I've been working on that's sorta like a Rick and Morty thing by way of an evolution of the Spooktacula...

I've been trying to get this going pretty much since January, and I decided not to wait any longer. The Yaruki Zero Discord's main intended purpose is to have a place to play RPGs, since I was having such a hard time getting people together even before the whole pandemic thing crashed into all our lives. I'm starting out with just inviting certa...

A random Twitter conversation led me to put together a quick table for generating Jusenkyo curses from Ranma ½, so here it is for anyone who might want to do that for whatever reason! If you fell into one of the cursed springs, what would you be cursed to become every time you're hit with cold water?

May Table Pack: Mutations (plus a note about Patreon sales tax)
Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. And then some guy came along and made some random tables for mutations. And that guy is me, Ewen. Hey there! Hope you enjoy! :3
Unrelated to that, Patreon announced that starting July 1st they...

Did you ever notice how back in the day they had a lot of slang for "nonsense" that sounds incredibly silly? Well I sure did! And now you can one-up the behind-the-times weirdos in your life by calling their nonsense things like jabbersticks, flapwash, or applebuggery!

Depths First Draft
It's going to need testing and probably more work besides that I didn't anticipate, but here's a first draft of Depths, the aforementioned character development tool. Since it was based on Seasons, I also included a revised version of the game.
(Fun Fact: If you want Japanese stock art of schoolgirls and other anime/manga ty...

Hey, hope you're all holding up well. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do when I finish Persona 5 Royal (I'm about 70 hours in...), but in the meantime here's this month's Secret Bonus Table, which is for generating names of fonts!
April Table Pack: Entanglements Tables (and more!)
I finished the aforementioned pack of tables for use with Entanglements, so enjoy! I've also included the PDF of Entanglements itself for any patrons who don't already have it.
Also, after conferring a bit via email, Kamapon sent me a second sketc...

I commissioned the brilliant Kamapon to do art of Table-chan, the aforementioned Ewen's Tables mascot character. We're in the process of nailing down details--and trying to keep her from looking too much like Hatsune Miku--but I wanted to go ahead and share the initial ...

Over the past few days I went a put a bunch of table packs up on DriveThruRPG, and I realized that I’m pretty close to having enough for a second Ewen’s Tables Collection book. I want to get in some...

In what may be my dumbest table thing so far, I put together a set of four tables for making stupid nicknames for three fast food restaurants and one conspiracy theory website.
March Table Pack: Politics
Hey guys. I hope you're all staying safe. This time around I ended up venting about politics in table form. I do no recommend checking out political books on Amazon if you have much faith in humanity left. Anyway, this will let you generate names for people, shows, and books that are generally being terrible right now. Enjoy or something!<...

I put together a new beta version of Pix, which is now up on itch.io, but since you're backing me on Patreon, enjoy!
February Secret Bonus Table: Terrible Online Recipes
Allrecipes.com is a site where they let anyone just upload any recipes they want. Thanks to The F Plus, I learned that there are kind of a lot of horrifying recipes on there, stuff where "2 cups of ranch dressing" is on the list of ingredients of something devised by a human being for co...

Just in time for the Big Game/Superb Owl/Non-Trademarked Euphemism For The NFL Championship Game tomorrow, I got out of my comfort zone and did a table pack about sports!
January Secret Bonus Table: Felines
And here's the Secret Bonus Table, inspired by a certain nightmare fuel musical movie. I haven't actually seen it yet, because I haven't been able to psych myself up enough.
January 2020 Table Pack: Glyphs
I'm currently sitting at a Kia dealership waiting for my Rio to get its routine service, so this was as good a time as any to get around to finishing up this month's table stuff. This time around we have a set of four Story Cubes inspired tables, each of which gives you a way to randomly pick one of 36 symbols.

My 2019, My 2020
2019 was quite a year, huh? In January the contract job I’d had for 2 years came to an be end, and while looking for a job a started doing zines. In February I started a new contract job, but in March I developed a herniated disc that caused me terrible pain and forced me to take 2 months off of work. I got back to work in May, but I developed...

Oh man. I finally made a table (with some sub-tables) for light novel titles. It's kind of a bit of snowclone nonsense, but I nonetheless hope you enjoy going into the holidays with titles like:

December Table Pack: Weird Names
So, of course, I caught a cold, which feels sort of quaint after going through so much more serious medical stuff this year. I did however manage to get a table pack done. Since it's the last one of this strange year, I decided to just do something silly, so I made a set of four tables for weird names. I hope you enjoy these, and please feel fre...

October Secret Bonus Table: Happy Haunted Halloween
Just in time for Halloween (because I procrastinated and am posting this the morning of), a very silly table that came about because I got "Spooky Scary Skeletons" stuck in my head!

October Table Pack: Modern Random Events
I’ve been working on this one for a while. It’s a pack of four tables of random events for modern settings, and it turns out that writing random events without a clear setting in mind is pretty hard, though also something I think I can get better at. I definitely want to do one for anime random events if nothing else. This month's pack is al...

Suppose you want to randomly generate some new types of sushi? Well I've got your back! (Seriously, it was driving me nuts because I kept thinking I'd already done one of these, but I think I was confusing it for the pizza generator or something.) Anyway, who's up for a San Diego Samurai roll? It's got salmon, eel, fried garlic, cilantro, and a ...
