Another excellent product from Board Enterprises; offering for both Legend Quest game system and as a generic supplement.
As GMs, we often sit and try to think of NPCs to help flesh out our world; all too often thinking that what we come up with seems just not quite right, or too cliche, etc. It happens, all the time, and if you've never used a Board Enterprises NPC product before, try this one. Fitting nicely alongside their Archetypical Characters sup, this amazingly inexpensive and versatile list is just what you need. Inside there are many creations, simple, easy to fit, versatile ideas for characters that you can find a spot for in any campaign. If you are lucky enough to be using Legend Quest anyway, these need no tinkering. If you are playing some other system, you may start to wonder about how much easier and simple these characters are to record and use...check out the Game; for 12 bucks you can have the rulebook that will change your RPG life.
As for the supplement, it is the usual sort of offering from BE; simple, very printable with minimal art, all info and no fluff. The characters described inside will start to take seed very quickly. Each character is often a Spark itself for a quest or campaign idea. Integration is only limited by your imagination. Josten takes ideas and spins them into new directions, for our benefit. Bang for your buck is the Board Enterprise style, and that is what you get with 100 Character Histories. Don't think, just buy it.
