100 Reasons to be Committed in the 19th Century - Vol 2



People were committed to Insane Asylums for a variety of mental¸ physical and social reasons. Whether they were committed to contain a disease¸ hide socially embarrassing behavior¸ to gain an inheritance¸ end a marriage¸ hide an accusation or address a true mental disease or limitation¸ everyone was committed for a (often strange) reason.

This list is intended for any 19th century to late 1920s campaigns (like Call of Cthulhu¸ Gangbusters¸ Pulp Hero¸ Justice Inc.¸ etc.) where reform from social planning and psychology was starting to address issues of sickness¸ poverty¸ and mental illness. Any reasons with a "*" are intended for women only.

NOTE: This roleplaying tool is intended to add drama and more realism to roleplaying experiences in historical mental asylums. While we touch on historical examples of racism¸ sexism and cruelty¸ we do NOT condone this behavior in our modern world. Please respect each other.

This Roll Percentile list has one hundred possible results in this format:
