Some Random D&D Tables

A few weeks ago I went with some family members to a garage sale. I very quickly concluded that there wasn't anything that interested me, went back to the car, grabbed a napkin and pen, and scribbled out some D&D stuff. I was inspired by Dyson's works, which I have only recently learned of. Keep in mind that these are great. Text is copied straight from the napkin with supplemental info in [brackets]. Not terrible good but they're F R E E so you're getting your money's worth.
