Automatic Roller for Groov's Lifepath Generator

Please see the Original LifePath Generator by Groov

This is an excel file that rolls for all steps on the Lifepath generator and looks up all necessary info and presents it in a short "Story prompt" table. Made with good old fashioned excel lookup tables.

If you are too lazy to click the link (!) here is a quick description from Groov's page of what the Excel roller is randomly generating:

Lifepath Generator is a few sheets of tables to help you fully flesh out your role-playing characters. This simple system uses six-sided dice to randomly generate ambiguous life events from childhood all the way to where your character starts. Lifepath is a great addition to any game system where you feel your character needs more depth and development.

Included tables:

• Personality Events
• Theme Events
• Game Focus Events
• Relationship Events
• Familial Events
• Location Based Events
• Age-Related Events
• Action Events (which can be used for downtime as well)
• World Events outside of the characters

Press F9 (in Excel) to re-randomize the whole sheet and "roll" an new background.

For example a single result might look like:

	Event type	Event Theme	Description
Initial family background	Family Background	FAMILY	You had no family.
First life event (child)	People Event	ALLIES	You make an enemy.
Second life event	Action Event	WORK	You're rewarded for hard work.
Third life event	Themed Event	FIERCE	You try to save a friend.
Fourth life event	Focus Event	WAR	You share a regret.
Fifth life event	Themed Event	FIERCE	You make an opportunity.
Sixth life event	Action Event	WORK	You get a new name.
Current event		FRIEND	They lie for you.
