We don’t know about you, but we’re too busy trying to think of improvised NPC names that are better than ”Bob” or ”Dave” to weave in relational complexities on the fly. Off-the-cuff NPCs never seem to know each other.You just need some interesting characters who know each other and have a problem that needs solving. Sometimes to make a session happen you don’t need a city supplement, a massive over-arching story, or a big list of random encounters. Fleshed out NPCs often come with a setting baked in.Why does randomly generated little Timmy have 5 older siblings, each a different race? Why does he carry a dead ferret and eleven crowbars on him at all times? We don’t know either.

NPC descriptions are kept short and sweet and are meant to spark creativity. Every web has an illustrative diagram showing these relationships with unique icons.

This zine contains 5 precreated sets of 6 NPCs each themed with a generic multi-race fantasy setting in mind (humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings.) Each set contains its own unique narrative.
