Multiple Random Tables
Is something like this possible in IPP?
Example:
NPC Title| (First Name) 1st - 2nd - 3rd | Last Name 1st - 2nd - 3rd
1. Baron/ess | Ri - ch - al | Sa - st - en
2. Duke/Duchess | Re - st - el | Ri - ba - el
3. King/Queen | Sa - ba - en | Re - ch - al
Generator Results example:
1. King Risten Sabaen
2. Duke Sachen Restel
3. Baroness Rebal Ristal

Sure, you would just have a first table that gets results from the additional tables. E.g.,
Table: main
[@title] [@firstname] [@lastname]
Table: title
King
Duke
Duchess
etc. The secondary tables can also call additional tables of their own (e.g., maybe you have three subtables for the first, second, and third part of each name). In this case you might also split it out to handle gender, e.g.,
Table: main
[@femaletitle] [@femalename] [@lastname]
[@maletitle] [@malename] [@lastname]
Table: maletitle
Baron
Duke
King
Table: femaletitle
Baronness
Duchess
Queen
etc.
Excellent. I am just getting into IPP and what it can handle. I will do some experimenting and see if I can cannibalize some of the included tables to help me.
Thank you!
Going through the existing tables is a great way to see what's possible.
The simplest way to use IPP is just as a single table. The next step up is basically Mad Libs. Once you have those down, there is a lot more you can do....
