Ok I am just starting out using this. I tried several years ago abut my computer got fried...Unimportant. ANy way I no nothing about this beyond what is in the help tab. So on to the questions.

1. there is a 75% chance to have a hobby, and if you do I want it to pick the hobby from another table. Now this chance comes from having a specific background. So it is part of a result. So how do I have it roll to decide if you have it and if you do to get the hobby.

2.If you have a particular background it affects other things like where you are living. How do I take a numerical mod from one result and apply it to the roll of another. IE, Rolled poor (Value=10) Got to table Living conditions and subtract 10 from the roll to get a lower result. Or Rolled Rich (Value=5); subtract 5.

Actually those are the two major questions.

There's more than one way to do things.

One way to think about it is "How would I do this with pencil, paper, and plastic dice tables?"

If you want to select a background sometimes, rather than rolling randomly for it, I'd use a %background% variable with a number. E.g. 1 = noble, 2 = merchant, 3 = peasant, 4 = barbarian, or whatever. Then I'd use a group set up for lookups, e.g. [BackgroundStuff=%background%] and then

:BackgroundStuff
1,(determine various things like hobbies etc appropriate to a Noble _background with calls to other groups as appropriate)
2,(determine various things like hobbies etc appropriate to a Merchant _background with calls to other groups as appropriate)
3,(determine various things appropriate to a peasant background...

For your second question, you can have group call modifiers that add, subtract, or are set to a certain value. [LivingConditions+10] or [LivingConditions-5] or [LivingConditions=6] And the modifier doesn't have to be a fixed value. It can be a %variable% as in [BackgroundStuff=%background%] above, or a fancy function like {If~%crazy%=1 ? {Dice~1d20}/{Dice~3d6}} or even another group call. So you could have [LivingConditions=[GenteelPoverty]] where [GenteelPoverty] produces a number in a way that can't be duplicated by applying simple math to a die roll.

Umm, I would agree but for some reason, likely my blond roots, I have no idea how to do what you said. Could you give me an example in correct form as if it was actually the table. I have worked with this for about 2 days. So very new.?

This is part of the table

2,{Bold~Civilized Culture} (Cu Mod 4)? A civilized character has a 50/% chance to have develop a hobby. /[group/Table call/]. If a Civilized character later changes to a Barbarian or Nomad Culture, he or she will be able to live as if he or she were one Social Status level higher and gain that Culture's survival skills. Survival: Choose either Urban or Wilderness, but character initially has Rank 2 ability in either environment. Literacy: A character from a Civilized Culture will be literate in his or her native language.


I love Central casting but I am modifying? the tables for use in my own games.

Ok here is the 2 that I have really worked with, the next one that has the extra rolls is from this. I want to learn so if you can just get it started I can extrapolate from there. I may have more questions but I will get this.?

OK, I thought I was using the Alternate Group Format shown in TS help file-Basic-Group. The example shown for weapons had weighted probabilities rather than ranges, and if they all have the same chance wouldn't they all be 1 in that case.?

Also thank you for helping me understand all this. I love random tables and TS is awesome, if a bit confusing sometimes.
