Helm descriptions. That is this week’s random table. The descriptions below can be used to give the Gamemaster a quick description for either a magical or non-magical helm. Maybe you just need an identifying feature about the castle guard to spice up your description. Or maybe the heroes have just found a great magical helm that needs some extra flavor.

Have suggestions for next week’s table? Feel free to leave some ideas in the comments of this post or over on Google+!
