Editing Random Campaign (section)

==Mechanics==
There's a limited table of scenarios. Players roll to see which one to play next. It's usually a weighted distribution, with some scenarios being much more common than others. Players, especially the lower-ranking player, may be able to adjust the dice roll or use special abilities to force a specific one to come up next. Certain Injury results (like Captured soldiers) may also bypass the roll when the game is tracking individual troopers. Narrative is mostly what the [[Old School Roleplaying|OSR]] calls "emergent". Which is to say you make most of it yourself based on all the random crap that the tables make happen to [[your dudes]]. There's very little narrative tying any one game to another, besides the forces involved and the players' desire to make it so. 

Random campaigns technically work at all levels of play, but mostly show up in skirmish-level games. Since there's so little meat to the way you select each game, it frees up a lot of space for players to track individual characters in their force. Most of your unit variations, limitations, and advantages come from what you can afford to bring to the next one. These games will often have involved post-game sequences that are also heavy on the random tables.

As the GM, you will only need to set up the tables for rolling up each successive game. Source a few scenarios and go. Each of your players will quickly grow to prefer different scenarios, and making complex/unpleasant ones show up commonly can drive people away very quickly. On the other hand, since the dice are choosing games (rather than the players) it tends to bust people out of ruts where they only play the simplest games. It also means that players are most-likely going to blame the dice rather than you if they get shafted.
