Characterization

Make sure to give your characters hobbies and interests such as model trains. This is for fantasy. In science fiction, replace that junk with long descriptions containing phrases such as "tidal-locked." Nobody has time for space chess when there's speculation about genetic optimization of luck to drop on the page.

History Corner

People used to put up rings of big rocks. They thought that was a good use of their time. So don't feel bad about putting together model airplanes.

Double Addendum

However, if pinball doesn't exist in your setting, have somebody invent it. This is important.

Addendum

Please note that jigsaw puzzles may be swapped out for other kinds of puzzles available in the setting.

Hobby and Interest Table

Your characters probably care about things other than adventure and subverting expectations, but you don't. What can you do besides prepare some sort of random number-generating device and entrust yourself to fortune?
