Disease Generator

Generate a disease or plague for tabletop games and fiction. Rolls the symptoms, how it spreads, how it progresses, where it came from, what people try, and what they believe is causing it.

A disease generator for game masters and writers. Roll it when a plague needs to be more than a name on a map. Each result gives you the symptoms, how it moves between people, how it progresses, where it started, what the treatment is, and what the population believes is causing it. The last of those is usually where the story is. A town that blames outsiders behaves differently from one that blames its own physicians. Fantasy, sci-fi, and horror are all supported, with engineered pathogens and quarantine measures added for sci-fi, and stranger causes for horror.
