Twilight: 2000  NPC Sheet

Being organized can be a struggle for any GM.  Juggling stats for Players, NPC’s, monsters, archetypes and encounters can be difficult.  The Line-Up Cards just made all of that easier.

What is it?

The Line-Up Card sheet is a 3X3 array of Cards detailing all of the major stats for Twilight:2000 That means on one sheet you can detail 9 NPC’s, units groups or mooks.   That’s enough for an average session worth on NPC’s, The major crew of a ship, the key Villains in an adventure or the random encounter your players might encounter in a dungeon, all in one easy to read sheet.

But wait, as they say, there’s more.

Each of the 9 Cards in a sheet is sized to be cut out and fit into a card sleeve.  Now NPC’s Can easily be divided among your players to run during the combat.  The key villains for a session can be laid out behind the GM screen and easily referenced.  A stack of wandering encounters can be accessed and drawn from for sudden combats.  Because the cards are sized for protectors, a 3x3 card sheet can be used to sort monsters by encounter type or region.  Friendly soldiers can be assigned to individual units or major villains can be assigned to different sectors of the battlespace and move from area to area.  

Possible uses for the Line-Up Card Sheets:

• Set up, by name an individual unit, refugee band, scavenger  team,  ship crew or polka band with all stats at the ready.
• Organize the people  the players will encounter in a typical campaign with easy access to the stats and less book-flipping.
• Keep a handy List of all the players stats on one sheet in easy reach.
• Have a handy list of the “folks about town” or scout section in one place
• Have a quick and easy way to detail all the important people in a session, even if you only have a few moments before hand.

If you would like to cut the cards out you can

• Create a deck of random encounters and then sort them by location, order of appearance in the campaign or frequency.
• Detail the stats for the most important NPC in the players group (Platoon, crew, shift etc.)  and then easily assign them into sub-groups or pass them out for the players to run.
• Create a quick and easy set of archetypes cards handy for new or guest players

Combine the Cards into Card Sheet Protectors (usually also 3x3) to let you:

• Design multiple groups like factions in a city, units, locations in a city and easily move NPC’s between them as the story is needed
• Build units on the fly from existing PC/NPC sheets.

Guilds: Arcane, Faith & Steel

Guilds: Arcane, Faith & Steel is a settlement-scale NPC supplement for 5e that explores the organized institutions controlling magic, religion, and martial discipline within a functioning city. Instead of presenting these classes solely as wandering adventurers, this book treats them as structured guild authorities responsible for training, licensing, enforcement, and doctrine.

Each ladder represents a formal hierarchy rather than a band of heroes. Apprentices, investigators, instructors, and senior authorities enforce standards within their respective institutions. These characters are not designed to roam the wilderness seeking treasure. They exist to regulate knowledge, maintain doctrine, and impose order within a community.

The intent of this product is to provide grounded NPC roles suitable for urban campaigns, political intrigue, and institutional conflicts. The creatures in this supplement are intentionally restrained in power compared to typical adventuring parties. They represent bureaucratic authority, trained specialists, and disciplined officials rather than world-shaking champions.

Cultural detail is intentionally light. Whether these guilds cooperate, compete, or secretly undermine one another is left to the GM. A wizard council might resent temple oversight, a knightly order might enforce doctrine against the will of priests, or arcane regulators may restrict magic that religious leaders consider sacred. These stat blocks provide the framework. How the institutions interact is your story to tell.

The Arcane Guild

The Arcane Guild regulates magical education, licensing, and enforcement within the city. Spellcasting is treated as a controlled profession rather than a personal talent. Apprentices must train under recognized instructors, licensed wizards are expected to follow guild doctrine, and unauthorized magic invites investigation.

Arcane encounters emphasize controlled spellcasting, investigation of magical activity, and enforcement of magical law. Guild spellcasters are disciplined practitioners who rely on preparation, regulation, and structured magical authority rather than chaotic experimentation.

The Faith Guild

The Faith Guild represents organized religious authority. Temples maintain doctrine, guide public worship, and enforce the moral codes recognized by the city. Clergy and holy warriors work together to preserve spiritual order while protecting sacred sites and followers.

Faith encounters emphasize divine authority, protective magic, and disciplined religious structure. Priests and temple officials rarely seek conquest, but they will enforce doctrine and defend the sanctity of their faith when challenged.

The Steel Guild

The Steel Guild governs martial training and the professional warrior class within the city. Fighters serve as instructors, security forces, and disciplined combat specialists trained through formal guild structures rather than battlefield survival alone.

Steel encounters emphasize coordination, discipline, and martial leadership. These warriors represent organized military authority within the settlement, maintaining training halls, overseeing tournaments, and commanding forces when the city calls for defense.

Guilds: Coin, Voice & Discipline

Guilds: Coin, Voice & Discipline is a settlement-scale NPC supplement for 5e that explores the organized professions governing trade, culture, and personal discipline within a functioning city. Rather than portraying these classes as wandering adventurers, this book presents them as structured institutions that train apprentices, regulate professions, and maintain social influence.

Each ladder represents a professional hierarchy rather than a band of heroes. Apprentices, inspectors, envoys, instructors, and senior authorities enforce standards within their respective guilds. These characters are not designed to seek treasure or explore distant ruins. They exist to maintain order within commerce, public expression, and disciplined personal mastery.

The intent of this product is to provide grounded NPC roles suitable for urban campaigns, political intrigue, and institutional encounters. The creatures in this supplement are intentionally restrained in power compared to typical adventuring parties. They represent professional authority, skilled specialists, and respected masters rather than legendary adventurers.

Cultural detail is intentionally minimal. Whether these guilds cooperate, compete for influence, or quietly manipulate civic leadership is left to the GM. Merchant authorities may clash with religious doctrine, traveling performers may influence politics through public sentiment, and monastic orders may pursue discipline that few outsiders truly understand. These stat blocks provide the framework. How these institutions shape the city is your story to tell.

The Trades Guild

The Trades Guild regulates skilled labor and craftsmanship within the city. Apprentices learn under licensed masters, guild inspectors enforce standards of quality, and senior artisans control access to trade knowledge and economic influence.

Trades encounters emphasize professional skill, organized labor, and civic authority through economic power. Craftsmen may not wield great magic or divine influence, but the city depends on their work, and the guild protects its interests carefully.

The College of Voice

The College of Voice represents the organized tradition of performers, musicians, and cultural envoys. Bards influence public sentiment through music, storytelling, and diplomacy, shaping how people think and how leaders are remembered.

Voice encounters emphasize charisma, performance, and social influence. Members of the college rarely dominate through violence; instead they inspire crowds, negotiate conflicts, and quietly influence the politics of a city through reputation and persuasion.

The Monastic Order

The Monastic Order governs disciplined training in body and mind. Monasteries produce warriors of focus and restraint who value mastery over spectacle. Students learn patience, control, and precision through years of dedicated practice.

Monastic encounters emphasize martial discipline, controlled movement, and personal mastery. These monks rarely seek glory. Instead they train, teach, guard sacred spaces, and intervene only when necessary to restore balance or protect their traditions.

Have you played your fair share of boring characters? Never fear! Awesome Ancestries are here to provide new, intriguing possibilities for your game.

In this installment, we present the ancestry you've all been waiting for...

GIANT FLOATING EYES!

A common trope of every fantasy story, these familiar protagonists have been ignored for too long. Well, no longer!

Inside you'll find:

• A full description and background details for the giant floating eye species
• Species traits for this 22 RP monstrous species
• 2 alternate species traits
• 1 species-specific feat with a really long name that you'll think twice about taking just because you won't want to write it on your character sheet (but then you'll realize it's a pretty good feat for your build and anyway you can abbreviate it)
• Favored class bonuses for only 2 classes (but they're 2 really good ones that you'll find thematically very appropriate)

Note:

• This supplement is for the Pathfinder 1E Roleplaying Game.
• This was released FREE for April Fool's Day, but is totally playable in every way, unlike our last April Fool's Day offering, which was honestly a mess. (I blame Cthulhu.)

Dygon is said to be the most foolish (or perhaps boldest) dragon explorer who ever lived. Maybe both descriptions are accurate. In his dossier, he recorded notes on his favorite dragons that he had witnessed throughout his life, one for each letter, and a special one at the end.

Dygon's Dragon Dossier is a system agnostic dragon bestiary. It features 27 sections, 1 for each letter, plus a final one. 

At each Letter section you'll find:

• A dragon and its art and lore 
• Two d20 tables with dragon's features, events, abilities, loot, and much more

This booklet includes the same guidance on running mass combat in 5e and 5.5e as the first Hordes & Armies, but provides new horde stats for the following creatures.

Sahuagin

Spirits

Mephits

Dire Wolves

Dragon Wyrmlings

Giant Spiders

And More

After the disappearance of the tall-­folk, goblin-kind has discovered their secrets and devoted themselves to the glory of NICHTDUMB, an ancient measure of virtue and righteousness.  The sneakiest, stinkiest, and maddest of goblin-kind have taken on the mantle of GOBSNECHT, embarking on daring, mercenary QUESTS for the WHOLLY GRUEL.

How ambitious a goal, to make all that can be eaten into soup!

GOBSNECHT is a fast paced game of luck, implausible feats, and backstabbery meant to be played in a couple frantic hours.  This pamphlet game includes all the rules necessary to create and kill characters, as well as tools to help Questmasters create an exciting adventure on the fly.
