I love this and the way it sets up tension and defines the character. My only complaint is that there is no place on the worksheet to enter the character's name.

Sometimes it's the simplest things you forget ... :)

Check the project page, I've uploaded a new version with a line for character name.

Now it is truly flawless. And very timely for me. I am at the end of a 4 year Traveller RPG campaign. There are some NPCs I've loosely framed as Ares, Hades, and Athena, but I really want to make them complex. This will do the trick! Thanks!

Happy to help Scott - and fill us in with how it goes! A campaign wrap-up would be lovely to read.

Hello Nate, I love that approach! Needless to say it is very close to the one I adopted in my game! Your is by far more structured as I never thought to make up a sheet (which helps a lot!). If you are anyhow interested in my view, I leave you here below some posts describing my approach:

These are for both PCs and NPCs! I am available to go through them and discuss further with you!

Hope it helps!

May the fun be always at your table! Ciaooo

These are pretty similar in a lot of ways! I really like your approach as well, especially in the Character Profiling post. There's a lot of really good things in there that I may end up adapting for future articles.

Thanks for sharing!
