On the Non-player Character

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"Problems with your players being frustrated at your non-player characters? Looking for the hidden social combat system that's been part of classic fantasy role-playing for over 30 years? Do you want your social encounters to be navigated by player skill, rather than by what's on the character's sheet or how good the player's personal charisma is? Are you looking for the fast way to generate memorable and long term non-player characters? Do you want every table result regarding non-player characters to be instantly gameable, rather than trying to figure out how they are ever going to discover what you rolled?

Then get this book and watch those problem social encounters disappear, to be replaced by everyone talking about how awesome your encounters are.

This is a compiled volume of information for players of Classic Fantasy Role-Playing games, Including: encounter procedures; non-player character design; objective resolution to social encounters; social combat; argumentation procedures; and advice on managing players."

Agreed. Way too expensive for PDF. Perhaps if there was a POD option, that price would be more reasonable.

Thank you. Yes, I found it there. Same price for the physical copy there as the PDF on sale here.

This looks interesting, and I'm definitely wishlisting it. But I'm going to have to wait for a steep sale.

Totally agreed. This is more expensive than many of the rulebooks for system that it can be used for.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
