    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.

    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.

    There's a cool podcast episode about it here, from the consistently great 99% Invisible: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-66-kowloon-walled-city/

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
