    Random Island Generation Charts, Part I

    While working on my Middle Isles campaign, I had a bunch of islands that aren't described aside from
    being on the map. Not all island are well-travelled, and to that end, I wanted to make a system
    describing what would be found there. Here's the basic chart I made when the players set foot on an
    unknown island (tomorrow, I'll post my Unusual Island Characteristics Table)!

    When visiting a new island, roll on the tables below to discern the basic characteristics for that
    island. Then garnish and serve!
