Milla Meets the Cat People

It's time for another of our quarterly visits with a favorite here at Shades of Gray: Milla Jovovich!

Milla's been menaced by virus-borne monsters, hunted by assassins, and kidnapped by mandroids. Now, the Cat People are being a pain in her neck! 

But who are they? What do they want? Find out by rolling on the following random tables, which allow you to generate a random story outline that you can then turn into an adventure to use with players in a roleplaying game. (NUELOW Games has released an entire book of this sort of thing, themed around murder mysteries, which you can get a copy of here. You can also see more random outline generators and similar material at the NUELOW Games blog. )

WHO ARE THE CAT PEOPLE? (Roll 1d6)

1. Invaders and/or refugees from an alien planet

2. Explorers from an alien planet

3. Visitors from another dimension

4. Neighbors who have been living among humanity since the dawn 

    of civilization.

5. Travelers from a secret city, deep in the jungle.

6. Refugees from the Hollow Earth.

WHAT ARE THEIR POWERS (Roll 1d6)

1-2. Standard lycanthropes who transform from humans into 

    black panthers (1-4) or tigers (5-6) when subjected to appropriate 

    triggers. Natural felines are frightened around them.

3. Shapeshifters who can turn from humans to black panthers (1-4) 

    or tigers (5-6) at will. They have amazingly good rapport with 

    natural felines.

4. Shapeshifters who can turn from humans into humanoid cat-beings 

    (their true forms). They have amazingly good rapport with natural 

    felines.

5. Shapeshifters who can turn from humans into black panthers or 

    humanoid cat-beings at will. They have amazingly good rapport 

    with natural felines.

6. Roll again. The Cat People are as described, but they are locked in 

    their human forms due to a curse.

   (Additionally, see "d20 Cat People" below, if you're using a d20 System-based rules set.*)

WHAT DO THEY WANT? (Roll 1d6)

1. To find lost Cat People who are unaware of their true natures due to an ancient curse, remove said curse, and return them to their civilization.

2. To conquer Earth.

3. To return home.

4. To breed with humans to make more Cat People.

5. To stop a demonic invasion of Earth.

6. To remove an ancient curse that is slowing causing them to go extinct.
