Poll #229 - Do you use random tables?

Hey all!

Quick poll this morning. I use the hell out of random tables and I was wondering if you do, too, and just how much you use them.

If you do use them, let us know what kind of tables that you're looking for or wish we could make for you.

Thanks for your response!

So, keeping that in mind, I'm reviving the old monster lairs poll. 

Pick the ones that you like best.
