Both. I have a d100 table. Some things are just random nonsense like in the image. Other times its related information that could be useful, like a reference to a back door somewhere or mentioning a boss likes a particular magic item. Other times its more detailed stuff about their specific role in a plan so the party can get part of the picture but not all of it. But if you roll a 1 or a 100 then they actively describe a big part of the plan.
If it isn’t campaign specific, would you be willing to post what you’ve got? I don’t DM but looks like a lot of people wanna steal adopt your idea and it’d be nice to have something to build off of
I’d still drop the hint, but there’s a complication (e.g they party has to wait longer, the goblin says it as they’re about to open the door, or someone coughs and hides some important detail).
As in you have them roll to see if the goons actually do discuss their plan for the 1000th time or not, or just to see what the juicy gossip is?

I love this idea! I may steal it if I ever DM.
I’m stealing this, great!
Is this table somewhere online? I would use it for sure.
Nah I made it up myself. It’s just a lot of roll zones that have random nonsense with other zones having plot relevant details.
