This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Interesting and useful.  What time period are you thinking about?  Depending on that may rule out some of the results.  The one suggestion that I do have (well sort of three suggestions) is that the "Is it Inhabited" table be modified by the size of the island, which means that you need a table for Island size.  And I'd also suggest a table for Population size (also modified by Island size).  


An excellent start without a doubt.

I was figuring the late 30's to early 40's. Figured the modes of transportation are increased and the Japanese make a good threat. (Like the Germans in Africa and South America.)

I had considered the 1880's but there was not a well reconized major opponent during that time. Still not a bad time, but more restrictive with transport.

I was figuring high population areas would not be random islands but I am open to argument.

Also, feel free to suggest any idea seed I missed.

Would a ratio of native to non-native population be helpful, or would that be best done by the GM as needed?

While I think it would be best adjudicated by the GM. I think an optional table would be nice though. Even if your not going to use it. It would be nice reference.

Quote from: KathulosRobert E. Howard wrote a series a stories dealing with the adventures of "Sailor Steve Costigan". Almost all of them take place in various ports located in the South Pacific. They center on the troubles the character gets himself into because of either chasing after a woman, or, letting his pride get in the way of his common sense.
You will be able to find a number of them online at Sailor Steve Costigan.
This got me wondering. Are there any games run where fist-fighting was the norm, and lethal weapons rarely used? (besides Kung-Fu games)

I dont know of any game especially set out like that. I think it is more of a style of play.
