1d7 Random Lovecraftian Outer Void Asteroid Adventure Locations Table For Your Old School Campaigns

When the 'Word' was spoken & the ninth & tenth planets were shattered into the asteroid field in the solar system there were places that survived. Ancient treasure vaults that should never be found. As mankind and the near  humans races expand into the nearby some of these places will be uncovered & nothing will ever be the same again.


The beings of a dying elder world, wise with the ultimate secrets, had looked ahead for a new world and species wherein they might have long life; and had sent their minds en masse into that future race best adapted to house them – the cone-shaped beings that peopled our earth a billion years ago.

— H. P. Lovecraft, "The Shadow Out of Time"

   Bleak is the night and long
   While slumber waits apart,
   Refusing this lone heart,
   These lips forlorn of song.
   Deep is the night and slow
   Whose gulf obscurely swarms
   Mad, somber, faceless forms,
   Blind masks of bale and woe.
   The moon's late-risen ray
   Through paling panes is shed. . . .
   From dreams uncomforted
   I rouse before the day.
   Now, ere the morning break,
   Would that my head found rest
   Upon thy halcyon breast
   To sleep, and not to wake.
