About CASTLE OLDSKULL Gaming Supplement ~ D100 NPC Generator (Castle Oldskull Fantasy Role-Playing Game Supplements)

Hello, and welcome to GEN1: The Oldskull D100 NPC Generator, the first in a series of Castle Oldskull “table-ready play books” from Wonderland Imprints. Unlike my deluxe releases, which tend to be many hundreds of pages in length, the Generator (GEN) series of supplements will be devoted to densely packed, concise topics presented in a tightly-formatted style. These books will feature a maximum of ideas and detail, restrained within a percentile die (D100) series of tables, so that you can use these books quickly between campaign sessions, or even during play. The goal here is to give you many thousands of old school RPG options without forcing you to study for hours, or to flip between enormous chapters. I listen to my feedback and appreciate my readers, so if this is what you have been clamoring for, this series is especially devoted to you. If you’re of the persuasion where you prefer my signature massive tomes, however, do rest assured that I have plenty of future content coming out for you as well. You will find this compact book useful nevertheless, albeit deliberately limited in its ambition and its scope. This book is dedicated solely to helping you to generate ideas which will allow you sketch out a unique, interesting and evocative Non-Player Character … either an enemy or ally to the Player Character party, depending on your needs. Please note that GEN1 is not a complete character generator; if that is what you are looking for, then you will want to invest in supplement DDE1: Dungeon Delver Enhancer, which is full-featured and clocks in hundreds of pages. This is a compact guide which will give you only the core ideas to build your NPC from, in 5 minutes or less. (The initial read-through will take you longer.) But if you own both this book and DDE1, you will see that these two supplements are fully integrated, complimentary, and compatible. And keeping with the design theme, that’s all we have for introductory purposes! So let’s get to work on making the laborious task of designing NPCs — with or without a seed of inspiration — as fast. easy, and fun as possible.
