Publisher's Synopsis
Every DM wants to craft a unique, enjoyable experience for their players. To do so requires a depth of knowledge of the campaign itself, and a team of NPCs that will help the players navigate their way through the story. And let's face it: every campaign has supportive NPCs. Sooner or later, an NPC within a city or tavern or perched high up in that tree house above the forested road has to relate pertinent information to the players who will then use that information to make decisions.
As a DM, you must have thoroughly developed backstories for your NPCs if you want to create a memorable experience for your players. You can spend hours designing colorful maps, intricate puzzles and traps, and even orchestrate entertaining encounters that quickly devolve into memorable, all-out-brawls, but unless you have great NPCs to tell your story, the entire campaign is going to come across as flat, or - in a worst case scenario - boring.
This book provides 13 characters with highly detailed backstories. They will help you tell a fantastic story, YOUR story. The best part is you don't have to spend hours fabricating an interesting character. They're right here, in this book, ready to go. Inside you'll find in-depth backstories on warriors, thieves, an alchemist, a renowned hunter, spiritual mediums and an ageless monster hiding in plain sight.
You need fantastic supporting characters if you want to tell a fantastic story. Here's 13 of them, ready for your immediate use.
