Planetary Random Events

This is a living document with the current tables for planetary random events. If directed here from a previous turn, the tables may not perfectly match what I used for that turn.

Planetary Random Events;

Roll once on this table, then roll among all regions to find out where the event occurs

1. A species migrates from one region to another

2. A species dies out

3. A new species becomes prominent

4. A new variant of a species becomes prominent

5. A new plant becomes prominent

6. A new resource is found (possibly related to technology - technology advances as well?)

7. A resource is depleted

8. Major natural formation/landmark adopted into cultural beliefs

9. Mystical/unexplained phenomenon occurs (may cause new beliefs/myths)

10. Local Natural Disaster (flood, drought, etc.)

11. Describe an existing feature in more detail

12. Genetic change - develop new feather colors, for example

13. Major Event. Roll on this table again, conducting the appropriate event for three contiguous regions. If this event is rolled a second time, roll among the following major possibilities:

1. Another species gains sentience.

2. Global cooling.

3. Global Warming.

4. Major volcanic eruption.

5. Meteor impact.

6. Extra-terrestrial visitation (probably without contact, probably leave artifacts somewhere).

7. Major plant/animal die-off

8. Major disease.

9. Sea-levels rise.

10. Sea-levels fall.
