The Mansion

Generates a scenario and a list of guests and encounters.
- The mansion can be the setting of a mystery, a horror story, or spooky hijinks, or some combination thereof.
- For the encounter table, you can roll a d20 and cross off when the player characters enter a new room.
- It is, of course, always a dark and stormy night.

Uses the chart Ghost Haunting Reasons by Konsumterra
Omens largely based on this chart of Spooks by willis.hall.88

Still somewhat of a work in progress.
Updated 10/21/21: Redid clue generation. Changed some formatting. Added a few new entries to other tables.
Updated 10/13/22: Changed layout of generated encounters.
