One of the most exciting aspects of running tabletop roleplaying games is watching your players explore the wold you’ve created. But populating that world with unique characters for them to interact with can prove challenging, particularly when players start asking questions about who they really are — their powers, passions, and peccadilloes. Fortunately, that’s where this book comes in.

Featuring more than 500 unique characters (as well as random tables to expand that number exponentially), each with clear breakdowns of their wants and needs, secrets, or obstacles and an itemized list of interesting stuff that could be gained were one to loot their bodies, The Game Master’s Book of Non-Player Characters has everything you need to conjure fully realized bartenders, blacksmiths, backstabbers, baronesses, baddies, and more in a matter of moments (questionable accents not included).

Includes:
– Three unique One-Shot Adventures suitable for levels 1-10
– Custom stat blocks and illustrations for dozens of memorable NPCs
– Side-Quest Generator for unforgettable, randomized plot hooks
