I based it on Kowloon, which I also heard about from Gibson. But it was this particular image which made me start writing the tables.
Casey G. We do have a particularly warren like part of Ur-Hadad know as the squat which this could work well with. I was actually making it for a Dark Heresy sort of hive world mega ghetto.
Wayne Snyder That sounds awesome. It's a great image, and something like the tables you're working on would be really cool for generating parts of the Underhive in a Dark Heresy game.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.

I've been working on some random tables that generate the interior of a place like this room by room on the fly.
