Deck of Many NPCs

Every great tabletop campaign runs on great NPCs. Deck of Many NPCs is a character generator and campaign manager for Dungeon Masters running 5e and the 2024 rules — build a tavern keeper, a rival adventuring party, or an entire villainous faction, then keep your whole cast organized between sessions.

Start with the included deck of prebuilt NPCs, or generate a complete character in one tap. Hand-pick every detail or let the app roll it for you.
