Strange Industries

A factory is never just a factory.

Remember that Triple Rule. Any place of industry is bound to have a side-order of residential, religious, civic, or academic purpose, or maybe something totally unexpected.

Of course the main thing is meeting a demand. Luckily, Bastion has so much demand that you can pretty much make anything and find somebody who'll buy it from you. Get popular and copycats arise, but usually they just both find a way to encourage people to buy twice as much, then everybody makes a nice profit. Everybody that owns a factory, that is. 

It's been a little while since we had some fun with Spark Tables, so let's do a pair of them that can work in tandem. 

Roll 2d20 and combine.

Examples

16, 5, 13, 1: Flowers, Craftery, Art Gallery, Jubilant.

Even with the chaos of Spark Tables, sometimes you just get something straightforward. This small Craftery produces artificial flowers, displaying them in their gallery before selling them on. The workers are all over-the-top enthusiastic about their work. Clearly seems like something weird must be happening under the surface.

Let's go again.

4, 20, 12, 16: Glue, Caves, Cathedral, Ambitious

Okay, now we've go something more weird. Perhaps the caves were used as a cathedral first, the walls carved with statues of saints and martyrs. This carving disturbed something in the stone, and a natural adhesive started to leak from the statues. First viewed as a miracle, then something better, a business opportunity. This incredibly strong, seemingly limitless substance is being bottled and pushed by the formerly cloistered worshippers as Holy Glue, now starting to get a taste for financial success.
