Hey all!

I am working on a submission for The Tankard, an OSR magazine that is just getting started. My submission is going to be a list of 300 fantasy, modern, and sci-fi NPCs. 

If anyone has any partial or complete NPCs I could use, it would be much appreciated. 

It is a free magazine, and all submissions are uncompensated. I will include the names of whomever helps out on the submission.

Thanks!

Oh, and the submission will be systemless, so no system-specific stats are needed.

regi-mental

what kind of info are you looking for?  backstory type stuff?

DeathRiders101

I agree with regi-mental, we need to know what you want first.

DeathRiders101

in other words, do you want the background, the hp, or what do you want about them?

How about posting an example. Also a link to the magazine.

Thank you.

People's well-used and well loved characters are the best, as even quick rundowns are extremely interesting.

Buffy (A Players character but will do as NPC)

Hp: 14. Male. Human. Wizard. Age: 17. Level 2.

1. Wanted to be a Hero from when he was 12, he got his chance when goblins attacked. grabbed a quarterstaff and killed a few of them, still uses quarterstaff. He found a bow in one of his adventures. In one of his adventures he found a level 2 monkey. The monkey is now his pet.
