This would be a great random encounter table in a quirky urban location. Perhaps when you are digging for rumors, one of these can randomly pop up.
ReplyDeleteI agree. about tables. The old Judge's Guild Ready Ref Sheets is still a treasure trove, especially for solo games.
ReplyDeleteyou mean beyond "the old man at the inn needs this stuff done"? :D
