Spark Tables for Cities
As a companion to my last post on cities, here are some spark tables for your anachronistic medieval (but actually probably renaissance) fantasy city. If you're not familiar with spark tables, I believe they were invented by Chris McDowall with this post during the development of Electric Bastionland. Basically roll 1d20 twice, consult two tables (or the same table twice), mash the things together into an idea paste and enjoy!
