100 Local Laws and Punishments

Laws and their punishments are a common feature in almost any society. They're also a great way to add drama and depth to your world. Running afoul of an obscure law can lead to interesting situations, and also give a glimpse into the specific values a society or its leaders hold. Local Laws and Punishments is a single table including 100 laws and their corresponding punishments ready to be dropped into your world. The laws range from historically inspired and realistic, to non-sensical and strange; and their punishments are just as varied. Also included is a small table that details some ideas for working a selection of the laws into your world and games. This table provides a few one-line plot hooks to give examples of using the laws and punishments and is meant to help inspire you to do the same.
