Murphy's Law - V3!

ver.3.0.0

Last updated: Tuesday 26th August, 2025 ~ What's New?

What can go wrong, will!

What makes life more interesting/frustrating? Murphy's Law! Ruin your character's plans with a negative outcome, or if they've been ruined enough, give them a break (but why would you want to do that..?).
Mixed will produce both positive and negative outcomes, and some outcomes can be positive or negative, depending on your outlook.

Due to the nature of Murphy's law, there will always be infinitely more negative results than positive ones. Also, this Gen does not give the results in a strict sequential order. So, you might get a result that says:
"Secondary character does X" -- then -- "Secondary character is killed" -- and eventually -- "Secondary character does Y"
in which case, just reorder things in a way more appropriate for your story. :)
