Description

NPC Essentials is a collection of tips, techniques, and aids designed to help game masters inject detailed NPCs into any role-playing campaign. Inside readers will find advice on designing, role-playing, and managing NPCs during the entire lifetime of their campaigns. Also included are NPC archetypes, encounters, charts, and an example NPC centric adventure.

Game mastering is a demanding job. If you stop to think about all the tasks a Game Master must perform, it is truly staggering. He must play the role of every NPC, monster, or other “non” player element in the game. The Game Master must prepare adventures and maintain an over-arching campaign. She must balance game play so that it is challenging, entertaining, and most of all, fun. Considering the amount of effort that must be put forth, it is a tribute to the role-playing game community that so many players eagerly don the mantle of Game Master!
