This Brooding NPC Has a Terrible Secret
"Why shouldn't I get romantically entangled with the barkeep? Why does that strange man live alone in the forest? Who is the mercenary hunting us, really?" Players ask a lot of hard questions. Roll 1d4 until you're sufficiently inspired.  This Brooding NPC Has A Terrible Secret is a system-agnostic mysterious background generator that fits on a business card. Whip it out when you need motivation for a miniboss or when your players ignore your main plot to fixate on an uninteresting background character. Full-colour and printer-friendly black-and-white downloads available
