Shadowrun NPCS

Welcome to the Shadowrun NPCs section of the wiki!

See non-player characters for a list of articles in this section.

Creating NPCs for Shadowrun can be a time-consuming task, especially if you have to work out things like equipment, spells, cyberware, bioware, and more. All too often, designing the NPCs takes up more time than designing the rest of the adventure!

But there is no reason why every game master has to do all this work on his own. This Wiki is intended to be a repository where game masters can submit their own NPC creations so that others can use them in their games (and of course, players can also submit their own player characters so that others can use them as NPCs...).

To submit an NPC, first choose a name for your NPC. This name should be more than a one-word summary - so instead of simply calling an NPC a "Thug", consider calling him "Experienced Mafia Thug". This is to avoid reusing the same name for different character concepts.

Next, create a link on one of the index pages with this name. The link should now appear in red on that page. Click on that link and you will create a new page for the NPC.

Now all you have to do is to enter the text with the NPC stats and any other descriptive text you feel appropriate (background story, combat tactics, and so on), save the changes, and you are done! You should also create links on any other appropriate index pages so that others have an easier time of finding your NPC.

See? It hardly takes any time at all to contribute to the Wiki - so don't hesitate!
