Table - Stray thoughts

Another old school table I've never seen done, to go with the failed dungeons and rumour accuracy. It's for what the adventurers' minds might be getting up to during a pause or in a quiet moment. The idea is to supply musings the GM and players can weave into the action, and maybe encourage backstory and narrative arcs. It takes a D20 then a D6.
