100 Book titles for a castle library

Many adventures for the Dungeons & Dragons game take place in cities or castles, where heroes may find themselves in libraries. Unfortunately, book titles from those libraries aren’t provided nearly so often, and the dungeon master (DM) can quickly become pressed for details when players ask what volumes are sitting on the shelves before them.

As part of its ongoing efforts to provide  DMs with all the details they may never need, the RPG Atheneum has produced the following list of 100 book titles that could appear in a fantasy role-playing library. To randomly determine a title, roll two ten-sided dice as a percentile, reading one die as the “tens” digit and the other as the “ones” digit. Thus, rolls of 4 and 3 are read as 43, 0 and 9 as 9, 7 and 0 as 70 and 0 and 0 as 100.

This list is available as a free .pdf download by clicking here or by visiting our Free Downloads Page.
