cultist digital fig figs haiku humanoid miniature rpg monday february 17 2020 dm advice 3 question npcs dm tips 3 question npcs we know the cliché you spend a week and a half preparing an npc non player character that sees about 5 seconds of game time before they are either forgotten ignored or killed by the party while the town guard whose name you pulled out of a hat ends up becoming their lifelong boon companion so how do you create an npc that is so compelling so original so amazing that the players simply can t relegate them into obscurity the answer is you can t and you shouldn t not only does this plotting and scheming go against player agency but most players if not all are primed by pit traps mimics double crosses and plot twists to be extremely paranoid of any npc that has a back story other npc avoidant players tend to just be dicks that want to see the gm squirm so if you can t make the players engage let s address the other half of the issue the amount of time spent prepping the npc the following is my method for quick and dirty npcs step one give em a name simple name the npc there are hundreds of random name generators on the internet if this step vexes you step two answer these three questions with relation to the npcs role in the scene what does the npc want what is stopping the npc from getting it what is the npc willing to do to get it now if you find yourself struggling to answer these questions with regard to the immediate scene step back and answer these questions for their long term wants and goals then look at the scene and determine what they can accomplish in it to bring them closer to their end goal what we have done by answering these questions is established the npc s root desire and defined the core conflict of the scene all sentient beings want something at any given moment of their lives it could be something as simple as being left alone or making the other person smile or selling a pair of stylish shoes for a handsome profit it is this want that drives our decisions you can use this root desire as a touchstone for your npc s reactions all their actions and dialogue are tools for them to steer the scene towards their objective the best part is even if the players ignore the npc they can still pursue their goal in the background advancing their agenda and giving the world a life of its own if you understand these core elements of your npc then the rest of the elements are just window dressing step three window dressing fill in the cosmetics race class shoe size fetish accent etc these can either stem from the three questions or you can randomly generate these as well there you have it you ve just created an npc in less time than it will take your party to ignore them good gamin posted by adam at 4
