Paranormal Investigation Generator

Page 49 of the Ghostbusters Operations Manual has a decent "generator" for when you need
some inspiration the night before a game. But it doesn't help you if you're in a rush, accidentally
lost your planned encounter, or are just plain out of ideas. Here are some tables that can help. All
you need is a D6.

*Protip* You'll never know when one of your players will want to suddenly question a random NPC
bystander that you didn't plan on. Write a dozen or so name combinations on an index card in advance. Then
when the time comes, just pick a name that suits that NPC. Whatever names you don't use, save for the next
session!
