TV Show Generator

This came to me in a dream I had a few nights ago.


Start with 1d4 main characters and 1 antagonist, then decide on the number of episodes this season has (1d10+10 if you can't decide). Most episodes the main characters encounter a problem which they then solve, in addition roll twice on the following table for the highlights of the episode. During the first half of the season roll with d20, for the second half roll with d30, and for the final episode roll with d10+20.

  1. A side character dies
  2. A side character leaves
  3. A side character shows up
  4. A side character helps the main characters
  5. A new antagonist appears
  6. An antagonist's plot is foiled
  7. An antagonist shows up
  8. An antagonist is one step closer to completing their plan
  9. A main character almost dies
  10. A main character's flaw causes trouble
