Liars, Friends and Troublemakers
A downloadable game
8 NPCs, each with a secret (some more obvious than others), agendas, and ways they can help or hamper the PCs.
It is mostly not a stat-based module, but where mechanics need to be referenced, Cairn is used. It is light enough on mechanics that it should be easy to convert to other systems.
I've also included the file I use to print physical copies but I only print them two at a time, as well as the original images that you can use for VTT (or in your own work, with attribution).
Made for the ttRPG JAMuary jam.

Physical zine itchfunding - US ONLY - READ CAREFULLY
Shipping
$4 for the zine + $1 for the shipping. It will ship via USPS first class mail (i.e. as a letter, in an envelope) and I cannot ship to any address that requires a customs form to receive anything from the US. You will get a cool stamp, I have like 5 different stamps that I personally think are the best.
Make sure to fill out your address!
Format
It will be a classic zine, printed out on my home printer. I will use slightly nicer paper than normal printer paper. I might end up updating the pamphlet, but it will be very similar to the PDF you see. The PDF version will remain free.
What happens when itchfunding finishes
I'll close physical orders. I might reopen them some day, but I don't want to be on the hook to make these forever.
You will get a zine regardless of whether or not it funds - this is one advantage of doing it on my home printer. If it "funds" I'll make a linocut stamp to stamp on each copy so that they're "limited edition". It won't be very elaborate or fancy, just an extra bit of fun.
I'll aim to mail them by late April. I will be making them physically, so it might take a bit of time. If it's really popular I might need to order more supplies or something.
If you already paid for the PDF
If you paid for the PDF prior to February 12, 2024, and want a physical zine, contact me.

I love this. Lots of character. Simple and interesting. Unique. I plan on using all of them at some point
All the physical zines have now been mailed!
I like these NPCs. This is a great little addition of uniquely interesting NPCs for your fantasy campaign, Cairn or otherwise.
