The following table can be used to randomly generate the buildings found in a block;
each building is assumed to take up about a quarter of a block, so rolling four times
on the table should produce a full block. The table has been set up to give different
kinds of buildings for different security areas, and applies mainly to Seattle. To use
the table, roll two D6s and place them next to each other, to produce a roll from 11
to 66.
It has been adapted from the Encounter Generation Chart in ICE's Cyberspace RPG.

APARTMENT BUILDING: a large building with a number of residences.
BANK: in AAA and AA-rated areas, this will be a Large Bank, taking up the entire
remaining ara of the block. In A and B-rated areas, it is a Medium Bank, and in the
rest it is a Small Bank plus some other building: roll again and add the two buildings
in the same area of the block.
BODY SHOP (ILLEGAL): roll again on the table to see what legitimate business
serves as a front for the illegal body shop.
BUS/MONORAIL STATION: in the center of Downtown (the large-scale map in the
back of the Seattle Sourcebook), this is a monorail station on a 1D6 roll of 1 or 2;
else it is a bus station. In all other areas it is always a bus station.
CHURCH: either a building belonging to a religion, or to a generic charity organization
(like the UB :)
DOCK: probably only found in districts on Puget Sound; in others, roll again or make
it a warehouse.
EMPTY LOT: an area of a block without any buildings on it; probably they were
knocked down and nothing has been built there yet.
HOTEL: in AAA and AA-rated areas, this is a Luxury Hotel on a 1D6 roll of 1-4, else it
is an Average Hotel. In A to C-rated areas, it is an Average Hotel on a 1D6 roll of 1-4,
else it is a Cheap or Coffin Hotel. In other areas, it is an Average hotel on a 1D6 roll
of 1, else it is a Cheap/Coffin Hotel.
MALL: takes up the entire remaining area in the block.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE: a free-standing, single-family house. Usually only found in
rich areas, and therefore normally well-protected.
RESTAURANT: roll 1D6 for the kind of restaurant; Large restaurants take up two
"areas" of the block, if the room is available.
1-2 = Fast Food/Small Restaurant
3-5 = Mid-Size Restaurant
6 = Large Restaurant
STORE: roll 1D6 for the type of store; Medium and Large Stores take up all
remaining area on the ground floor of the block.
1-3 = 1D6+1 Small Stores
4-5 = One Medium Store
6 = One Large Store
What the store sells is up to the gamemaster.
WAREHOUSE: whether there is anything in the warehouse (and what) is a
gamemaster decision.
SPECIAL: this is the gamemaster's discretion; it can be anything from the table or
something else.
