I have some general ideas and some initial locations/adventures/NPCs planned out, however filling out the world beyond the core details can be hugely time consuming and having backup ideas for when your players go entirely off your carefully laid routes is always a worry. I've spent many an hour trawling the Internet forums for ideas and useful resources. This book is a perfect resource to help with this. It's full of great character ideas and tables to help generate NPCs. I think what some people rate this down for is that you can't always literally just drag and drop all the stuff from the book into your campaign, but why would you want to? As a DM what I am after is new and fun ideas and inspiration, but I'll always want to tweak the details to suit my campaign. I also really like that it includes some one-shot adventures which you can either use as they are or adjust to fit your own campaign. Some people also rate down the maps, as they are not easy to use from the book in a campaign. This again doesn't bother me, as I like to create my maps in my own format and I view these as a design guide to what the map layout and key elements should be and I make my own version. Overall, I think the amount of effort and content here is fantastic and it's presented beautifully, with lovely illustrations and a lovely cover. I would whole-heartedly recommend this to any would-be DMs out there as a source of inspiration. Review: Saves so much time - This saves so much time, it’s fun to create NPC’s however it’s time consuming . the tables for creating new random NPCS are great. I love the art style. Maybe not as many as a d&d wotc book but it’s a fraction of the price so you can’t complain can’t wait for the next traps book. Already pre-ordered. Also there are Tavel games in this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 227,980 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 193 in Hobbies & Games References 253 in Role-Playing & War Games 520 in Indoor Games | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,549) | | Dimensions | 22.23 x 2.16 x 28.32 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1948174804 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1948174800 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Game Master Series | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | 9 Nov. 2021 | | Publisher | Topix Media Lab | ## Images ![The Game Master's Book of Non-Player Characters: 500+ unique villains, heroes, helpers, sages, shopkeepers, bartenders and more for 5th edition RPG adventures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815V53JMk2S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great source of inspiration and material *by D***N on 5 April 2022* I am relatively new to DMing and am running a homebrew campaign for some friends.

Also there are Tavel games in this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money *by S***E on 12 April 2022* Lots of great NPCs with enough info to run them at a moment's notice. Some with stat blocks. Would benefit from an index to make it easy to search for shopkeepers, rogues or pirates rather than having to go through the whole book to find them. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Game Master's Book of Non-Player Characters: 500+ unique bartenders, brawlers, mages, merchants, royals, rogues, sages, sailors, warriors, weirdos ...
