━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SPACE STATION INHABITANTS Arne Babenhauserheide ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Random NPC generation with occupation and a keyword for portrayal, written for the [200 Word RPG Supplement Challenge 2016]. Tailored for shady space stations. Start with the first table. Roll one die. On a 5, move one column to the left. On a 6 move right. Never change direction or leave the table: Use row 5/6 instead. Else select the row for the number you rolled. Go to the next table. Start with the row for the last number you rolled. Roll again. 5 moves up, 6 moves down, never turn around. The number gives the column. The last column is special: It never applies to the job in the row rolled in the first table.
