Description
The Arcane Index #1 – Society NPCs, softback supplement for any fantasy RPG
“At the beating heart of a good NPC are many things – strong storylines, unique locations, dangerous combat and interesting NPCs. In this, the first volume of an ongoing series of top-quality RPG supplements we present to you forty-eight unique, interesting and detailed NPCs from across the social strata:
- Vagabonds
- Workers
- Criminals
- Guards
- Merchants
- Nobles.
Each entry lists:
- Name and Occupation – it helps if we tell you who they are and what they are
- Age and Species – giving you their core aspects first
- First Impressions – outlining how they will come over to the player characters
- Background – all the stuff they won’t tell the NPCs at first but might come out as they get to know them
- Occupation / Role – what a person does usually has a big impact in an RPG, we outline it here
- Important possessions – everyone has something they value, and we’ll tell you why
- Important relationships – here we hint at the wider world that you can build on as you wish
How much we write under each section varies from character to character of course. Some characters have longer backgrounds than others whilst others have a large volume of important relationships. These people are as real and 3-dimensional as they can be, and yet have them usable at a glance at the game table.”
Also included are three add-on booklets:
- Pets and Stray Animals
- Hangouts
- Situations & Rumours.”
