Overview

So, you're playing The Haunting and one of your PCs has a furniture related fatality and no secondary character built... how can you quickly get that player back into the game? Maybe that librarian or police officer they spoke to earlier in the story can be narratively worked in, but they'll need some stats. That's where this little module has you covered, with names from the classic period and the ability to quickly generate a human NPC's stats, they'll quickly be able to re-join the investigation. This NPC's record could then be shared with the players in the case of a fatality, so the game doesn't have to stop.

Maybe you're playing more of a sandbox type of story and your investigators are confront by a group of cultists or are jumped by a group of gangsters. Quickly add a group of human combatants to the Combat Tracker with the provided Encounter. The basic person NPC is equipped with a .38 revolver and a knife, so they're immediately prepared to fight with minimal effort on the Keepers side.
