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.
