This is a d10 random event table I made as a going-away gift for my Blue Planet game group. I've removed the inside jokes and content specific to Blue Planet. Half-way through game night, roll on this table for a random event.
A small spy drone malfunctions overhead and crashes into a party member, who takes 1d6 damage.
A street band sets up nearby and plays loud cacophonous modern music. The party is distracted. They take 2 penalties on all skill checks until it disperses (or until they leave the area).
A crazed anti-government activist attempts to take a nearby cafe or shoppe hostage at knifepoint.
Space junk falls into a nearby neighbourhood. If the party reaches it before official recovery crews do, they find a solid state hard drive still in tact. Upon a successful computer check, they recover recent communications relevant to the current campaign.
Car crash.
Food is misdelivered to the party.
The party witnesses an allied NPC being accused of a petty crime by a policeman or high-ranking socialite.
The next elevator the party gets into will malfunction.
Because the PC's names are coincidentally oddly similar to another group of friends, they are mistakenly invited to a posh dinner party. It is requested that they bring an exotic liqueur to share.
The party is questioned about their suspected connection to an underground fight club.
