BUILDING GENERATOR roll 1d100
When you need a building or a whole street, roll 1d100 for each building! In a small town, random buildings may be next to each other. In a city other than a huge metropolis, on each side of office buildings there is a 75% chance that another building of the same basic height and shape is present. If not, then the buildings are random. In a huge metropolis, each block downtown will have similar buildings so once you have randomzied one building you know what is likely to be surrounding the one you rolled. Across the street and in the surrounding blocks could be something totally different.
Some buildings will seem to be much larger than would be required for the purpose stated. This means that the building is partly empty, or rented out to other tenants.
