Chimerical Realm

After reading through my previous tables for jobs for my upcoming Hero Hunters game, I was left somewhat unsatisfied with who the employers were, and information on the targets. So, I decided to go into a bit more detail with these groups. The tables below are meant to augment the previous ones—so, for example, if I already know that the person hiring the PC’s is a criminal group, I wouldn't roll for that. City : Generally picked in advance, based on famous or iconic cities. Though “location” of the job can very this quite a bit.

If only it were that easy First off, there are a few different ways word of various jobs end up making their way to the players.

There will almost always be rivals for the job, and the target almost always is aware of the danger they are under. Direct Contact --the players are...
