In the bold tradition of the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide's Random Harlot Encounter Table, I thought I should offer a somewhat less focused Random Femme Fatale Encounter Table for use in the City, and its world--or maybe any pulpish setting. And its illustrated.
Femme fatale’s are 50% likely to have useful information, but only 30% likely to spill it, and 15% likely to make up something. There is 60% chance she’ll attempt to enlist a PC's help in regard to her problem which will inevitably lead to more trouble.
01-10 Devil in a Blue Dress
11-25 Songbird
26-35 Reform School Girl
36-45 Carnival Girl
46-55 Burlesque Dancer/Stripper
56-69 Working Girl*
Love the illustrated table concept
ReplyDeleteI concur with Matt and I absolutely love the table. It gives me a kind of naughty feeling. I'm totally need to work this into a game at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Risus, that's what we aim for here at FTSS, the simulation of naughtiness without the annoying guilt. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this table and would use it in my game! It's eminently suitable for any sort of campaign/setting as long as the referee can perform "genre conversions" on their feet.
ReplyDeleteI am practically biting my e-tongue off in restraining myself from making some crack about result %46-55 that would be at the expense of many nowadays burlesque performers of the non- top-shelf persuasion...
Blair, I suspect I know where your coming from regarding some burlesque revival performers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the table, and I hope you find it useful.

ReplyDeleteNaughtiness simulator... Now there's a potential cash-cow if you can make it cheap enough and small enough to be practical to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks, rainswept!
ReplyDeleteHarald - Indeed. Let's get the scientists working on the naughtiness technology.
Love the addition of illustrations. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christian. It gave me a way to use all those trashy pulp novelcovers I'd been collecting on my hard drive.
