NPC Codex Preview #1

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Prepping for a game can sometimes be a chore. You’ve got a plot to develop, monsters and treasure to assign, and NPCs to create. Over the past few years, we’ve given the busy GM plenty of tools to fill out their adventures with a wide variety of monsters and treasure, and now we are giving you everything you need to populate your world with NPCs as well.

The NPC Codex is set to release in just over a month and we thought it was time for you to take a look at what you can expect from this 320-page tome of NPC glory. In the coming weeks, we’ll examine exactly what you’ll find inside. This week, we thought we would show you what a sample spread in the book looks like. You will notice that these two druids do not have animal companions, but there is an appendix in the back of the book with animal companions of every level. Also note the handy tab in the upper corners of the pages, making it easy to find the stat block you are looking for while flipping through the book.

Tune in next week for another look at this exciting sourcebook and find out what hauntingly terrible NPCs you might find within.
