[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1739223, member: 9646"] Well, I tend to find the design of NPCs pretty long and boring. As such, I have decided to create two big (hopefully) documents detailing many [COLOR=LightBlue][B]NPCs ready to use in d20 Modern-Future, and in D&D 3.5 [/B][/COLOR] games. However, it's difficult to think of what would be really useful, and what isn't. So, can you give your opinions on this subject? -- What are the most frequent NPCs you tend to use in your games? -- What classes and levels they tend to be? (i.e.: a generic soldier is a 1st level warrior or a 3rd level fighter?) -- Do you prefer very generic NPCs, or unique individuals with their personality, etc.? -- What sort of info is the most important for you in a NPC? -- Etc. Some of you may remember the [I]d100 City block Thread[/I] begun approximately one month ago. It is now completed and being worked into a PDF that anyone around will be able to download (for free). I have begun two other threads, this time about NPCs (in the Rogue Gallery forum, see links in my signature). Understandably, these two will take much more time to complete, as coming up with full stat-blocks tend to be tedious and takes time. Note however, that if any DM out there contribute only one entry, we will quickly reach 100 entries, and so: [COLOR=LightBlue][B]for one entry contributed you end up with 100 usable![/B][/COLOR].
