The "Suburb Danger Generator" is composed of 2
tables; “The Dangerous Thing” table and “What the Thing does” table.
The Dangerous Thing: Each entry has two options. Either pick one or use
both, or roll again for 3 or 4 options. Combine them all together to get some
sort of monstrosity - use one to keep things mundane.
What the Thing Does: In what way is the dangerous thing
dangerous? How does it attempt to ruin your day?
Combine both tables to get a danger.
