Just added to the “Miscellaneous” section of the site is an NPC generator I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks. It’s still a work-in-progress, but it’s complete enough to put up and see what kind of feedback I can start to cull.
The NPC generator supports several pieces of information about the NPCs, including:
- Name
- Personality
- Occupation
- Likes/Dislikes
- Statblocks
- On occasion, any one (or more) of: appearance, home planet, places recently visited, affiliation, mood, recent history
Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

One of my players discovered this tool during last night’s game session. I immediately fell in love with it. I run a sandbox style game and coming up with interesting NPC’s on the fly is a huge challenge for me. This is perfect for planning ahead, or just making a quick NPC at the table when needed. I haven’t spent much time using it yet, so I don’t have a lot of feedback other than my initial impression. I just wanted to let you know that your efforts are appreciated and I can’t wait to see what enhancements you have in store.

Chris,
Thanks very much for the feedback! If there’s something specific in the tool that you think would make your generated NPCs even better, please let me know.
