When your characters are stuck on a starport, what do they see? Surely it’s not quiet. Spacers of all sorts, rubbing shoulders and doing whatever it is that spacers do when not shooting at pirates and Sathar.<br /><br />Referees can use the following generator to add some depth to a group’s stay at port. Use this generator as desired: once per day, once per stay at port, or just throw those dice whenever you think it’s a lull in the action and fun. Any of these could evolve into a subplot or entire adventure.<br /><br /><div align="right">Article by <a href="/user/57">Rum Rogue</a><br />Document maintained by <a href="/user/22">w00t</a><br /><div align="left"><br />One of 100 Results are possible.
