Give Your PCs Weird Houses (I Made You a Generator So It's Easy)

Art by Jacek Yerka

After a bit of a medical-woe-related depressive slump, I'm back, this time with a generator for creating weird fuckin houses for your PCs to live in. Although the typical OSR PC is a bit of a knave or vagabond who might not fancy settling down, at a certain point in ones life one turns an eye to stability, or at least a money sink for the gold that keeps spilling out of your pockets. This generator is here to take the heavy lifting off your hands when that happens in one of your games. You could also easily use this to create random buildings for a citycrawl, or throw together an impromptu dungeon or lair based on these results.

Another thought I've had is starting character creation by generating a house for each player, and then having the player decide what kind of person their character is based on what they can deduce from their house.

Fair warning: because I'm me, the houses that this generator creates trend towards the weird. These buildings have, shall we say, character, if character means cupboards that open into the stygian depths of the ocean. If you're running a more traditional, less surreal game, I'd suggest ignoring the weirder results, or just using this to create wizards towers and the like.
