Roaring 20's Bounty Generator

The concept of bounties and bounty hunters has been around since people first managed to successfully escape into the wilderness to evade the long arm of the law. And during the time of prohibition, high profile and organized crimes surged into the public like never before.

This list is intended for any game in the Roaring 20’s genre (like Gangbusters, Call of Cthulhu, Pulp Hero, Justice Inc., etc.). Whether the fugitive is a lowdown thief or an innocent framed for a crime they didn’t commit, this table can help you generate a fugitive with an interesting background, and more than just a number placed on their head.

This product uses a set of nine tables / charts to generate details about the fugitive, the crime, the bounty itself, the original victims of the crime, and the current circumstances. This set of 9 tables requires twenty sided dice (1d20) and ten sided dice (1d10) to use.

Check out D10 Dimensions on DrivethruRPG for additional Roaring 20s products to generate a long list of your speakeasies, caches of loot, teams of G Men, old cars, beautiful femme fatales, dark asylums, or a range of items for any pocket, hideout or hidden box in an old basement somewhere.

This product works smoothly with other D10 Dimensions products like 100 Reasons to Be Committed in the 19th Century Vol 1 and 2.

Example (Generated from random rolls from this product in paragraph form):

This fugitive (that I named Darrell Jones) is a 34 year old male who was raised in a farming background. He gained a "sailor's tattoo from his time in WWI. The bounty posted against him was posted in Texas. Jones was charged with multiple offenses of bootlegging alcohol. The bounty is posted at $700. Jones managed to avoid being caught by using his combat skills and tactics from the military. The Bounty posted on Jones was set by a rich benefactor / friend of one of the victim (the Texas government in this case). The bounty was posted 6 months ago, so Jones must have been charged at least 8 or more months ago.
