Are you looking for inspiration as you create a new character to tackle their first adventure? Are you a NEW OR EXPERIENCED DM looking to add complexity to your story narrative and depth to your NPCs? If so, look no further.

This is the PERFECT COMPENDIUM for you!

Simplify the character creation process with these backstories based on and inspired by the 5th edition of a classic RPG. These 39 backstories (written from the perspective of each race, each class, and each background found within the fifth edition PHB) can be PICKED UP by a player quickly assembling a new character about to embark into the unknown, by a DM adding some plot twists to the story, or just fleshing out that NPC that the party just stumbled onto. Of course, they can also be inspiration for your own new campaigns and storylines.

Each backstory includes a portrait, name, race, class, background, and the story explaining why they are out adventuring. Many of the characters have BACKSTORIES intertwining with other characters within this supplement for added tension and INTRIGUE making gameplay more immersive if you wish to use multiple backstories in the same campaign. Although written with the 5E system in mind, these backstories can be easily adapted to many other RPG systems.
