Dear Diary,
What kind of odd creatures will the characters be confronted with?
Will they be friends, allies, or enemies ?
Here a list of list of the factions in Whitechapel for Into London:
I use a 2Dx result for the random encounters, so that the average results are encountered more often. With this I try to emulate the fact that this is a very big faction or that this faction is on it's home turf.
