Story Engine
Here is an potential story engine for main storyline that I will experiment with. It is based on three literary plot structures. I am not sure I like the 2d12 probability.
#1 is hidden text. The blogger has numerical list which automatically starts at 1. I didn't feel like looking up how to remove it, so the list really starts at 2 since 2d12 lowest value is 1+1 = 2.

| 2d12 probablility |
I may have to change to something else. I couldn't fit the plots into one single d12 roll.
I may instead to a double roll instead of a single roll.
But if I can organize the plots into more common and less common plots, this 2d12 may work.
