Sometimes my PCs open fire in a crowded shopping mall and I want to describe the poor schlub who got hit on a critical glitch. Or they feel like chatting up a stranger in a pub and my brain is too tired to build a barfly from scratch. In the spirit of Sprawl Sites, here's something I knocked together for my current game.
Roll a D6 for each table. Assume setting is a cosmopolitan city with a diverse ethnic population. If not, tailor to your needs. RANDOM PEDESTRIAN ENCOUNTER CHART D6 Gender 1-3 Male 4-6 Female D6 Age 1-3 Adult 4 Geriatric 5 Teen 6 Child D6 Metatype 1-4 Human 5 Ork 6 Other (see below) Other 1-3 Elf 4 Dwarf 5-6 Troll D6 Fashion 1 Gang inspired 2 Casual jeans & tee, "flats" or hobo chic 3 Corporate wear or high formal 4 (Neo)ethnic or (neo)tribal 5 Military inspired 6 Techno inspired D6 Hair 1 Bald/shaved 2 Short 3 Wild 4 Tinted 5 Long 6 Mowhawk, spike, bio-implant or other extreme D6 Ethnicity 1 Anglo 2 African 3 Chinese, Japanese or other East Asian 4 European or Hispanic 5 Semitic or West Asian 6 Amerind or Native Aboriginal D6 Affectation 1 Tattoos or nanotattoos 2 Decorative scarring or tribal jewelry 3 Decorative implants or 'ware 4 Full body dye 5 Weird eyes or mirrorshades 6 Advertising or personal holograms Would anyone else like to share D6 based random charts they've created? The more versatile (re: generic) the better. I also remember seeing a random Sprawl environment chart posted to these boards long ago and I was curious if anyone could share the link. EDIT: Revised Metatype table. It's an extra die-roll but, whatever... |
