Selected Option:

Forging Villains and Patrons

Persons of Interest offers a selection of system-neutral tools for building antagonists and other NPCs for your GMing needs. While written for the Stars Without Number sci-fi role-playing game, the tools in Persons of Interest are compatible with almost any setting or game system. Within these 33 pages you'll find the kind of Sine Nomine Publishing tables and GM helps you've come to expect, including....

  • Motives, for driving your NPCs forward and provoking their villainy or desperate need for PC help
  • Capabilities, defining the kinds of help or harm the NPC can offer the party, giving the heroes a reason to care about their ambitions
  • Opportunities, providing the specific situations or adventure hooks you can use to pull the PCs into the NPC's sinister plans or lamentable troubles
  • Appearances, helping you define the way the NPC looks, how they behave during negotiations, where they might meet the heroes, and what kind of prices they might be willing and able to pay for help with their problems

This slim full-color supplement is built for working GMs who have endlessly voracious players but a limited amount of time and energy to build content for them. With Persons of Interest, you have the tools to lighten your load and sharpen your creations.

Why is it almost a $160.00 for a PDF? Is the price a mistake?

Sorry Jeffrey! A bug took too much interest in high prices but our tech team banished it quickly!

I realize that it would distract from his great work, but I really wish Mr. Crawford would do some kind of training series to help other authors and publishers at OBS -- how to put together great products from A to Z.

It's not just that his content is well planned, succinct, etc. His production value is very high without butchering the media. He understands how pdf/screen read media is best consumed by his readers. Fonts, image sizes, resolutions, transparencies, file size optimizations, etc. It's all first class work.

His Exemplars and Eidolons ruleset is designed to be a layout template for other publishers who want to copy his framework. Also, the first issue of The Sandbox, his journal/zine, has pretty detailed instructions on how to produce a publication and get funded via Kickstarter.

Kevin never disappoints. I'm currently running a SWN game and this book has already provided some great ideas to move the game forward.

Another great resource from Kevin for SWN or really any sci-fi game. I ordered the print version and reading the pdf while I await that. This book is a great way to start making npcs that are more developed that just your average mooks.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
