The Book of Random Tables: Science Fiction NPCs: d100 Random Tables for Tabletop Role-Playing Games (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952089527)

Endless Sci-Fi Characters at Your Fingertips

Science-fiction role-playing games have always had fewer ready-made resources than their fantasy counterparts. This book helps fix that. The Book of Random Tables: Science Fiction NPCs gives game masters hundreds of options to quickly generate memorable non-player characters for any sci-fi setting.

Use these tables however you like. They're tools, not rules. Roll during prep, during a session, or let your players roll when they ask, "Who do we run into?" With sections for Bonus Names, Call Signs, Occupations, Appearance, Attitudes, and Items, any GM can create an NPC in seconds by rolling across the tables.

Inside This Book You'll Find:

- 1,000 Pre-Generated NPCs - Ten D100 tables filled with simple, evocative science-fiction characters ready to drop into your game at a moment's notice.

- 400 Bonus Name Combinations - Expand your roster with a huge list of human names designed to fit any futuristic world.

- 700 Call Signs - Includes 600 standard call signs plus a special table with 100 humorous options for lighter campaigns.

- 400 Sci-Fi Occupations - From starship crew to shady underworld specialists, quickly assign NPCs meaningful roles in your setting.

- 200 Appearance Descriptors - Instantly craft vivid first impressions that bring your NPCs to life.

- 300 Attitude Descriptors - Give NPCs personality, quirks, or emotional states at a glance.

- 300 Pocket Items - Strange, useful, or mysterious objects your NPCs might carry, perfect for role-play hooks and plot seeds.

Whether you're running space opera, cyberpunk, planetary romance, or hard sci-fi, this book ensures you always have a fascinating NPC ready when your players wander off the map.

Adventure among the stars with confidence. Your next unforgettable character is just one roll away.
