Local Experiences Tables

 One idea for my new campaign I'm working on that I'm borrowing from the Japanese rpg Sword World (or at least its unofficial translations into English) are Local Experience Tables. These show up in some of the setting books and are just random tables of events themed to varying degrees to specific locales. They don't typically provide any mechanical benefit (though I could see it in limited situations), but they are still potentially useful, and they certainly provide a roleplaying hook.

Here's one I came up with for Salvage:

Salvage and the Field of the Fallen Colossi

Roll	Experience
1	Swindle. You either suckered someone or got suckered.
2	Dust Up. You were involved in a violent altercation.
3	Busted. You were once down and out.
4	Scarred but Smarter. You got caught in a trap in a colossi, but now you know better.
5	New Part. A part of your body is Magitech.
6	Poisonville. You once lived in a pretty toxic area.
7	Bad Blood. You made an enemy, and someone is still after you.
8	Took a Bullet. You’ve been shot before and have the scar to prove it.
9	Lost Mine. You believe you know the location of treasure.
10	Tech Friends. You have a friend that is a construct or otherwise Magitech.

And here's one that covers the region outside the major cities:

General

1	Courier. You once delivered a sealed letter to an important person.
2	Marshlander. You’ve spent a good deal of time in the marshes.
3	Mad Season. You’ve experienced the mad ecstasy brought on by exposure to the pollen of the aglaea flowers in the scrublands
4	Rail journey. You’ve traveled by train.
5	Runaway Construct. You had a dangerous encounter with a magitech construct.
