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

    This is pretty Ur-Hadad stuff right here. I imagine the urchins living in places like this.

    I first learned about this place via William Gibson's Bridge trilogy.

    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.

It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
