NPC Creation Guide (from Order 66 podcast)

By Admiral Terghon, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I've put together a PDF from the material in this Order 66 Podcast (NPC Deli) which I never listened to: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Order66/~3/oQ_74w224aI/Episode45-TheNPCDeli.mp3

GM Hooly, I'd be happy to send you the source file (Word docx) if you want to dress it up even more.

Here is the file:

Perhaps you could include the sample NPCs they provided (I'm guessing they wouldn't mind if asked).

I had this one noted:

Mandalorian Deathwatch trooper [Rival]

3B 3A 2I 2C 3W 2P
Soak 6
WT 15
Skills: Coercion 1, Melee 2, Piloting (Planetary), Ranged (Light) 2
Talent: Sniper Shot 1, Lethal Blows 1
Items: 2 Blaster Pistols, Laminate Armor, Jetpack

Send me link good sir!

Examples please?

Nice work Admiral. Would you be willing to share the source file with me as well? I'm trying to improve my dismal document design abilities and am interested in looking at how you made the backgrounds.

Thank you for this guide

Nice work. So much fan made content, it's great

Send me link good sir!

The sample NPCs were described during the podcast, but not written down (AFAIK). I simply jotted down and transcribed.

Nice work Admiral. Would you be willing to share the source file with me as well? I'm trying to improve my dismal document design abilities and am interested in looking at how you made the backgrounds.

I found the blank background in these forums somewhere, using google, not the forum search. I then just inserted it as an image in Word on every page and used the layout options to put it behind the text. Thinking back, it would have been better to put it as a header or footer.

Here's a link to the Word source file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47987606/NPC%20Creation%20Guide%20v1.docx

GM Hooly will be coming out with a better version soon no doubt. This was merely a bare-bones start to give him a boost and a test for me to see if I could at least approach the quality that others have done.

Cool, good to know. Thanks for the pointer and the file.

In case you wanted to do this yourself, DarthGM has provided the notes for the NPCs shared on the show:

Anyone happen to know where this went? Some folks are asking for it. I have a local copy but I don't share others' work without permission....

I never saw this thread, and all of the links are now dead. :(

I'm going to rehost this since it was originally released publicly, in its original format. Please let me know if this is not okay, I presume the intent was to continue offering this to the community and hosting decided otherwise. I've PM'd the Admiral in hopes of getting explicit permission but I feel it is implied.

I have shared it here, for as long as my dropbox account has gigabizzles to share:
