Do you play film noir, pulp, or dieselpunk tabletop RPGs? Cut down game master prep time with random tables. 32 D100 Random Tables plus 10 detailed MacGuffins for Noir campaigns.
Grimy streets pave the way into the underbelly of the city. The hearts of the people are as hard as the cobblestones they live and die upon.
The men in cheap suits a decade out of fashion loitering out front of the pool hall aren’t just loitering. They are waiting. Waiting for their mark. The person with the scoop on the stolen painting their boss wants found.
The Book of Random Tables: Noir gives game masters tools to help craft and prepare hard-broiled detective campaigns in the vein of The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, and The Third Man. The tables could also be used in dieselpunk or pulp adventures as well.
