The Deck of Many Stagecoach Passengers

"So who's sitting next to me?"


The Deck of Many Stagecoach Passengers is a GM aid created by Brian G. Smith to quickly determine who might be a fellow passenger on a stagecoach. Determining it is easy just draw a card for every empty seat on the coach. If you need quick stats you can use Rustlers & Townsfolk for some instant, fully fleshed out, NPC's. And yes I know the formatting is craptacular but I am trying to find a way to make it pretty.
