(RPG PDF Spotlight) Stranger Danger

RPG PDF Spotlights is our daily look at a recent release for a new tabletop roleplaying game, supplement or scenario, or solo journaling game, that has caught my eye. This isn’t a review, although I hope we can start offering reviews in addition to our news coverage in the future, more of a “hey guys, check this out!” shoutout.

Stranger Danger

Shadowdark Supplement by Philip Reed Games

We have all been there, the party meets in a tavern, completely sidesteps your prepared adventure, and the proceeds to ask about every NPC in the room.

You could steer them back on course (a few surprise incidents of violence can sometimes prod them in the right direction), or you could strap in and prepare for an unexpected ride.

With Stranger Danger, you’re ready for that ride. Inside this book, we’ve included:

• Over 200 NPC descriptions, each of which may lead to an encounter – or even an adventure! – in your campaign. (The NPCs do not have unique stats, but do have enough of a hook to inspire an encounter or adventure in your campaign. Whether an NPC becomes a central figure in your campaign or a background character who is never seen again is, obviously, up to you and how your sessions develop over time.)

• NPC stats for the twenty backgrounds found in the core rulebook. The next time you need an urchin, you’ve got the stats ready to go!

• Five Skeletal Foes. Originally published at DriveThruRPG as a PYWY PDF, these five skeletons have been updated and are ready to cause trouble in your next session.

Stranger Dangeris available through DriveThru RPG in PDF.
