While working on refining the Random Job Generator , I came up with this "What the players are moving" list - and then expanded it with everything I could think of. The chart itself is simple, roll a D100, consult the table. If there's a footnote after the item, consult the lower chart and roll a setback die. If the setback die comes up a threat (ignore failure), the more illicit aspect of the item comes into play - a fact the captain moving the cargo may not know about.
