Spicing Up City/Town Encounters

Town/City Encounters: here is an interesting idea! Expand your horizons and make a randomly rolled but mundane encounter into something special. If, for instance, the die rolls calls for a result of "Fighter" make it samurai, a dervish, or Native American dog warrior.

Cleric? How about a witch doctor or shaman (complete with shrunken heads), robed Asian mystic, or fully decked out Jewish Priest of Aaron?

Magic-Users could be an iconic witch with broom and black cat; a modern day stage magician complete with tuxedo, cane, and top hat; or a steam-punk style alchemist.

Thieves are a bit tougher because they generally like to be in the background but you could roll out a few figures from entertainment. Such as black jump-suited cat burglar, or Stainless Steel Rat type of fast-talking confidence man.

Each of these notables, of course, may have an assortment of toadies, sycophants, bodyguards, apprentices, etc.; who may take a dim view of players approaching their idol!
