Insta-NPCs #4: Henchmen and Minions

Agregar a la ista de deseados >

Have you ever created an amazing place for your campaign only to discover that you don't immediately have a collection of NPCs to fill it? Or have your PCs ever stumbled into a place you haven't had time to fully develop as a living, breathing part of the campaign?

Well, why not take out a handful of dice and roll up an instant NPC! Or in this case, an "Insta-NPC"!

The Insta-NPCs product line is designed to offer one or more tables to roll on to figure out a little something about the NPC you're pulling together.

The last product dealt with creating cool villains for your campaigns. This one deals with something just as important. Minions. Henchmen. Assistants. Those NPCs who sometimes interact with the PCs more than the big villains do. The second stringers.

Much like with Scum and Villainy, we break the process down into three main steps - type, defining feature, and motivation. Let's take a look at a few classic movie henchmen to see how the three categories break down...

  • Igor, the classic laboratory assistant for Dr. Victor von Frankenstein. Though he doesn't appear in the book, he started appearing in films on the big screen in the 1930s. He's always helping out the good doctor, digging up corpses, flipping switches, and saying "Yes, master" to beef up his boss's ego. Using the steps in the book, he might come across as a "Sparky" (type) with a "Phrase" ("Yes, master.") (feature) and either "Blind faith" in what Frankenstein's ability or the idea that he is a "collaborator" and helping the good doctor in his lofty goals of discovering the secrets to life itself.
  •  "The Albino" from Princess Bride (1987). This alabaster-skinned fellow helped Count Rugen (the six-fingered man) in his secret laboratory known as "The Pit of Despair." He prepared Westley for being tortured by "The Machine" by making sure he was still alive when the Count came down. While being kind to the prisoner, he was sure to explain that there was no hope of escape. "The chains are far too thick. Don't dream of being rescued, either; the only way in is secret. Only the Prince, the Count, and I know how to get in and out." He might boil down as a "Talky" (type) with a "Body" (feature), and "Collaborator" (motivation) in the Count's quest to document the limits of the human body...
  • Snake Walker from The Muppet Movie (1979). This creepy fellow has one job for the evil Doc Hopper: kill frogs. But he does it with style, so he might come across as "Blocky" (type), "Style" (feature), and "Money bags" might be the best motivation. He wears a head to toe leotard and is highly specialized. Of course, he is stopped by a gigantic Muppet in the end, so he can't have been all *that* good with his job.

Imagen escaneada
Estos productos se crearon escaneando una edición original impresa. La mayoría de los libros más antiguos están en este formato de imagen escaneada, ya sea porque nunca tuvieron un archivo original de diseño digital o porque el editor ya no lo tiene disponible.

Para crear las ediciones de descarga en PDF, cada página se ha procesado con un software de reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR) para tratar de descifrar el texto impreso. El resultado se coloca de forma invisible debajo de la imagen de cada página escaneada para permitir búsquedas de texto. Sin embargo, es muy probable que los textos de libros que estén impresos sobre un fondo gráfico o en fuentes escritas a mano no sean reconocidos por el software OCR y, por tanto, no formen parte de los resultados de las búsquedas. Además, algunos libros más grandes pueden ser reorganizados para que se adapten al sistema y puede que no tengan ese fondo que permite búsquedas.

Para los libros impresos, hemos realizado escaneos de alta resolución de una copia física original del libro. Esencialmente, hemos remasterizado digitalmente el libro. Por desgracia, la calidad resultante en tales libros no es tan alta. Es el problema que tiene hacer una copia de una copia. El texto se puede leer, pero las ilustraciones empiezan a verse oscuras, pixeladas o carentes de tonos de gris. Las fotos pueden desarrollar patrones moiré. Especificamos claramente qué títulos impresos provienen de imágenes escaneadas de libros, para que puedas realizar una decisión de compra informada acerca de la calidad de lo que vas a recibir.

Formato original electrónico
Estos ebooks fueron creados a partir de los archivos originales de diseño digital y, por tanto, se pueden realizar búsquedas en todo su texto. Además, el tamaño de archivo tiende a ser más pequeño que el de los libros de imágenes escaneadas. LA mayoría de los libros más nuevos están en este formato. Tanto las versiones para descarga como para impresión de estos libros deberían tener una gran calidad.
