The concept is simple, a series of tables to roll on; each containing a fine assortment of horrific items to scatter around the room or complex or lair that you are designing. Even when you have a clear image in your mind as to what you want, imagination can sometimes run a bit thin... and as an added bonus, something you roll up may spawn an additional idea to weave into your plotline or even send it off in a new direction.

The tables range from one of human body parts to an array of jars (including contents), animals, weapons and even one of 'Disturbing Art' and another titled 'Gory and Disturbing'... not things I want in my living room, but then I'm not a necromancer!

The one that really takes my fancy, though, is # 9 on the Undead table: Ghost cat (ignores you). Why? I ask myself. What's the story behind the ghost of a cat that doesn't want to rub up against legs.... before you know it a story starts to develop, it might be a sub-plot or it might be the key to the whole adventure!

Nicely done, and useful... what more could you ask?
