There's a new button that takes in the number you input and will create that many NPCs and output it to the window that opens. If you hit Cntl-G on the window, all NPCs are coppied to your clipboard and you can paste them anywhere. Now you can generate a whole section of town in a few seconds if you wanted to.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Added two options for displaying NPCs on the print out. You can now choose to see the Core Traits and/or Religion section or not.</li> </ul>The attached file is just a .zip with an .exe in it - no install for now.  It's built using the same technology as the DnD builder is, so if you have that, all of the reqs are already in place for you to be able to run this without the install.  If people want it and have issues with just the straight .exe, I'll build an install for it.</blockquote>
