NPC Deck
 |
Breathe life into an infinite variety of NPCs-for any campaign!
Putting together a new adventure or campaign? GMing an impromptu encounter? Got a game session that's gone in an entirely unexpected direction? In almost any gamemastering situation¸ one of the greatest challenges is coming up with nonplayer characters (NPCs) that are interesting¸ unique¸ and fleshed out-particularly when time is short. The 100-card NPC Deck helps you breathe life into your NPCs with details of their appearance¸ personality¸ abilities¸ and possessions-even their names.
Just create a role to fill-shopkeeper¸ mobster¸ duke's seneschal¸ street urchin¸ ship captain-and assign the NPC a level. Then use this deck to fill in details and inspire you in one of three ways:
- Draw or choose a card and use it as-is. Each card gives you a first and last name (as well as a fantasy name alternative); details of appearance¸ demeanor¸ and personality; modifications to the NPC's level; and a distinguishing feature or item. The deck includes 100 distinctive ready-to-use NPCs for a vast variety of roles.
- Draw several cards and mix and match elements. There are millions of possible combinations!
- Draw or choose a card¸ and tailor your NPC as needed with your own ideas. Grab a card and alter the appearance¸ demeanor¸ personality¸ or modifications to make it your own.
Best of all¸ the NPC Deck is setting-neutral-even game-system-neutral! The details provided will work in virtually any campaign setting.
Stop struggling to breathe life into your NPCs¸ and never get caught flat-footed for a character's name or details again. Get the NPC Deck!
