Common Folk

This is to RickInNC (and to any others that would like o give input):

Hey Rick,

First of all, I have read your list of archetype characters that you would like to have handy for your game and it is extensive... it will take me a little time to write them all up :D!

But, I have started this and will be adding to it with your suggestions - I would just like your input on it. Are you getting enough information from it that you need? And if I make a archetypical Middle-man barkeep, can you not just rename him and put him in any town you would like?

With GoB's permission, I am going to make a sub-section to the Allies and Adversaries section of The Hall of Fire and call it the "Commoners Gallery". Monthly I will have a group of NPC commoners for players and narrators alike.

Please take a look at the attached PDF document and answer my above questions from it... I would greatly appreciate it!

And I am very interested to have contributions from whomever would like to add to the "Commoners Gallery". Just email them to me at uvonbek@yahoo.com.

Thanks and I look forward to your input.

Great work! That was the kind of thing I was thinking about! Most of these, as you mentioned, can be placed in other lands and adjusted to suit, and I think the Commoner's Gallery would be a welcome addition!

One thing, if you could add it, would be some of the more seedy kinds of characters as well, especially those in the southern parts of M-E, like Corsairs, and so forth. I will even try to add a few as my time permits.

Thanks, and send Sara Townsend to my table for another round on me!

Like it! :)

Only noticed one problem..... the background and info for the last character is the same as the one before it. :D

Tom

Yea, I know. I have been copying and pasting the basic format and I have not finished the last character.

There are to be about another 20 common characters.

This looks great :)

My only thought is that it might be easier to find these things when GMing if the title was a brief description, e.g. 'Hobbit Cook/Barmaid' for Jasmine Underbrush. That would also allow you to give two or three names: perfect for GMs who are rubbish at thinking up names on the fly ;)

When I do the final layout in the Hall of Fire, I will use this suggestion. We'll see about those extra names - I suffer the same problem at times :D !

Thanks for your input Data...
