I was rolling up some NPCs for possible submission to Zach's Bestiary and decided to use my Covetous Poet charts for one.

I was rolling up some NPCs for possible submission to Zach's Bestiary and decided to use my Covetous Poet charts for one.
Not uncommon for me to do, but I usually stick to one genre. This time I decided to see how the same motivation rolls varied, if at all, using each set of genre charts. (including the three bonus (*) ones)
I figured I'd share the results.

NPC Modifier: Intimidating (CP NPC Personality Chart)

NPC Noun: Moneylender [with outstanding debt] (Tome of Adventure Design, Patrons & Targets)

Motivations rolls-
1. 226 / 970
2. 935 / 587
3. 996 / 380

Results for-

Fantasy:
1. control weapons 2. trade organized crime 3. win high priest

Horror:
1. control wild animals 2. trade penitence 3. work holy site

Sci-Fi:
1. crush will 2. transform owner/proprietor 3. win heist

*Super Hero:
1. control warrant 2. trade pet 3. win hired muscle

*Mystery:
1. control wealth 2. trade performance/acting 3. win housekeeper

*Spy:
1. control wealth 2. trade old man/woman 3. win guard

Even though the Actions and Things charts only vary a little between genres, this fella has a different story to drive in each.
