Too Many NPCs

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Too many NPCs to keep track of?

Sometimes you have so many NPCs it starts to feel like that scene from Ferris Beuller's Day Off, when the monotone teacher takes roll call, and a student answers:

"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I think it's serious."

Every long-running campaign reaches this point. One NPC becomes 5, which then becomes 20. A village becomes a town - then expands to a whole kingdom.

Before long, you're trying to remember who knows whom, where everyone lives, and what happened twelve sessions ago.

Great campaigns naturally become more complicated.

Most Game Masters begin with a paper notebook, Google Doc, Word, or some other note-taking app.

Those tools work well when your campaign is small.

But eventually...

  • The town has an inn.
  • The innkeeper has a daughter.
  • The daughter belongs to a guild.
  • The guild answers to a noble family.
  • The noble family started the war fifty years ago.
  • The PCs suddenly revisit that town.

At that point you're no longer managing just notes. You're managing relationships.
