What Makes These Different
Auto Choices Generators
These aren't simple good guys or villains. Each one demonstrates a different type of moral conflict (collaboration for survival, profiting from chaos, choosing lesser evils etc). They immediately create situations where choices matter.
Built for Moral Complexity
Originally designed for "villain already won" scenarios, these NPCs work anywhere power dynamics blur the lines between right and wrong: corrupt kingdoms, failing democracies, criminal takeovers, or any situation you could imagine!
Narrative First
No stat blocks, no art, no dependance on one single system: only deep story first characters that you can adapt to any kind of system and setting.
What you're really getting:
The ability to perform deep characters on the spot without memorizing pages of backstory mid-session.
Players who stay engaged because the NPCs they meet have active problems that make their choices matter.
A fillable template to create an unlimited number of your own NPCs using the same framework!
This is for you if:
Your NPCs feel flat and players see through them immediately
You don't have hours to develop detailed NPCs for every session
Your players tend to ignore the characters you introduce
You want moral complexity but don't know how to create it easily
This is not for you if:
You're looking for stat blocks (there aren't any here: this works with any system)
You only run combat-focused games with minimal roleplay
You prefer simple good/evil dynamics
You need character art (the layout is beautiful, but the focus is on story dynamics, not visuals)
No upsells. Just cool NPCs, plug and play for your next session!
Questions
Will this work with my game system? Yes! There are no stat blocks: just the psychological and dramatic mechanics that work in any TTRPG!
Will they only fit one type of scenario? No. The PDF includes detailed examples of adapting the NPCs to various situations like corrupt kingdoms, religious schisms, criminal takeovers, political coups, and corporate control scenarios.
What if I just want to learn the technique? Perfect! The structure of each NPC teaches the methodology. After reading a few, you'll understand the pattern that makes any character more engaging.
Can I make my own? Yes! You get both a printable blank template AND an editable digital version to create unlimited NPCs using this exact framework.
How big is this product? After The Fall is a collection of 15 NPCs and comes with explanations on what they are, how to use them, and what mistakes to avoid. You get two things: the main 21 pages pdf and an additional 1 page digital template as a separate file.
