I'm a player in this AP, and we just got to the point where we are getting our agents, in our Cult of Personality. I decided to make some tables to generate descriptions and backgrounds for my agents, and threw together some tables. Hopefully this will make it seem more like a motley crew of locals throwing themselves in to help the cause than "you have some agents. They do things."
One note that didn't fit on the page with the table: For a more "courtly" agent set, use 76-100 on the "Commoner" table instead of the whole table.
War For The Crown Agent Tables
Feedback greatly appreciated, as this is my first stab at such a thing.
Lots of work clearly went into this and I appreciate the tracking sheet at the end as I am prepping to DM the second module for my group finding some of the groundwork already laid out for me is extremely helpful. I was previously thinking of abstracting this idea (and still might) after discussing the pros/cons of more book keeping with my group.
I will try and hop on in a couple of months to give proper feedback if we do use this system these tables look like they will add some much needed depth. Thank you for doing all this work!
This looks well laid out, one typo I spotted (huxter should be "huckster" if we are referring to a scam artist - I think it's beside one of the professions - fortune teller, or some such).
Yoinked, with many thanks!
EDIT: huxter = huckster (not a typo! But never seen it spelled that way before).
nice
Just remembered to check back in on this after my game finished book 3.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm glad you're liking it. My group is liking having a whole bunch of shadowy figures running about doing our bidding. I've already lost three agents, and having names to remember them by was a good RP moment.
Cool generator! Also in Book 3 in my Playtest conversion of WftC, so I might take this for a spin rather than use nameless agents.
