City Encounter Example
ToC
I created this sheet to facilitate random city npc encounters. This is a proof of concept allowing a Storyteller or GM to generate the inhabitants of a tavern, a shopkeeper, or an evening snack for a vampire. The humans are currently based on Greyhawk cultures. The sheet is currently set to generate 5 peeps, refresh to regenerate the list.
Player / Storyteller Section
One of the primary goals was to have a player section that a screenshot could be taken and pasted into an online chat like Discord, while having a Storyteller/GM section to show deeper secrets.Cover Tags
It was also important to provide optional cover tags or suggestions for possible creatures in disguise as mortals. A changeling walking as elf or a werewolf in human-form. A fiend disguised as a dwarf which could be a devil in mortal form or a demon possessing a dwarf for his own agenda. Or possible hooks like a mortal with dragon-blood or a true dragon in mortal shape walking among the city. Ooze while an odd tag could be a cult members dedicated to the deep oozes. An elemental tag could be a evil cult member, a Jinn in disguise, or a Sorcerer of Fire magic. The tags are meant to inspire or be ignored if they get in the way.Whats Next
