RANDOM GAMBLERS

by Madden


Wherever your Gambler PC(s) go, they're probably going to want to get in on a "friendly game." For those times when you have some empty seats at the table and no planned encounters to fill them, here's a way to quickly generate some opponents.


Gambler Type: Roll 3D
The modifier (if any) is applied to character's gambling skill (see below).
If a name is in italics; don't roll on the Loyalty table; the character is either independent or their loyalty is obvious.

3     Rookie -1D
4     Card Shark +1D
5     Spacer +1D
6     Experienced Card Shark +4D
7     Young Cheater (must cheat. -2D to Gambling, +2 to cheat.)

9     Experienced Cheater (must cheat. -1D to Gambling, +6 to cheat)
10   Average Player
11   Rookie -1D
12   Spacer
13   Crime Boss +2D
14   Local Official/Noble/Senator -1D

16   Experienced Cheater (must cheat. -1D to Gambling, +6 to cheat)
17   Rebel Undercover
18   Imperial Undercover (Human, don't roll for species) (may not cheat)

Gambling Skill: Roll 1D
The number rolled is the number of dice the gambler has in the gambling skill ( xD ). Apply modifiers as above, but do not go below 1D.

-FINISHING your gambler-
First, roll twice on the CREDITS/CREDIT FORM chart (from the Random Pickpocketing Tables article in the March issue of the Journal) to determine the gambler's bankroll or stake. Then, roll 1D; on a 1-3 result, roll on the DEED TO/CONDITION chart to see what else they have to potentially throw into the pot.
