The Reversal of Respectable Clothing
A while ago, wearing a suit showed that you had a well-paying and healthy job. People like bank workers, insurance salesmen and professors would wear a suit to show their financial superiority, whereas wearing casual clothing often meant that you had a service job or none at all. But that has reversed. Now wearing a suit shows that you're in a high-responsibility, high-stress job. The most depressed, stressed out people I see are always in an ironed suit. And the people who are happy, with a casual job can wear T-shirts and jeans, often with a Timbuk-2 bag and an iPhone. But there is a certain graph, a curve to this. There are the stressful jobs that don't require a suit, and the nice jobs that encourage a suit, though those can be rare.

Goblinoids
Goblins have long been typical inhabitants of caves, dungeons, and anything dank and dark. This is a short compilation of all the goblinoids that I could find or think of. 3 D20 and one D10 rolled for random spawn.
Goblin-Small and most common of the goblinoids.
On roll of 4-15. Roll 1 D24 for group size
Orcs-Tribal goblinoids, approximately same size as human, stronger, yet uncivil.
on roll of 16-26. Roll 2 D10 for group size
Trolls-Beings 3 times the size and strength of a human, greatly weakened in sunlight and easily blinded or shocked.
on roll of 27-36. Roll 3 D6 for group size
Ogres- Very human-like creatures with high agility, more likely to find you with infants and small creatures. on roll of 37-44. Roll 1 D6 for group size
Hobgoblin- Relatively intelligent goblinoids, slightly taller than orcs, with an aptitude for weapons and explosives. on roll of 45-50. Roll 2 D10 for group size
Chosilyds- Extremely fast goblinoids with a reptillian apppearance. They are slightly smaller than humans, with yellow and black stripes down their backs.
on roll of 51-55.Roll 2 D10 for group size.
Orkangutangs- Goblinoids that live in jungles with bright orange fur all over their bodies, the size of gorillas and somewhat more intelligent.These have long tails that facilitate jumping between trees and a supernatural sense of balance.
on roll of 56-60.Roll 5 D6 for group size
Pigbats- Bats about the size of a dwarf that eat pigs and anything smaller. They have pig-like snouts and tusks. They fly in packs of five to 40, sometimes taking down other goblinoids and large mammals such as elk, cows, and sea mammals with fangs and claws.
on rolls of 61-66. Roll 5 D8 for group size
Bugbear- Much larger than orcs with dark matted fur and immense strength, some of the most fearful goblins known to exist.
on rolls of 67-70. Roll 1 D4 for group size
Well, that abut sums up random goblinoids for now. This blog is for finding random tables for anything you need. I plan on doing some with jungle creatures, tundra fauna, carnivorous plants, weapons, undead, and more. I'll gladly accept any ideas or needs for random charts in the comments.
