I was putting together a new character and had an idea while doing so. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place where DMs could look for guest PCs to have a list of NPC characters they would be willing to run as a guest in an ongoing campaign.
I could see this as being a single interaction, such as a buyer for some ancient relic. It could also be an ongoing interaction, such as an owner of a store, a friend of one of the PCs, or something else entirely. It would depend on the player with the NPC, the DM's needs, and what they would both feel comfortable with.
How this would work...
Those players with NPCs can post their characters here. Include the normal: Name: Race: Class(es)/subclass(es): Alignment: Background: Backstory:
DMs then can contact the players privately if they wish to use them as an NPC or to have them as a guest in their game. The two then can discuss, in a separate PM, the details and what will work for them.
My suggestion, for players wishing to post potential NPCs here, is to make a 20th-level character. DMs can work with the player if they wish them to be lower-level than that. I will give my NPC below as an example.
He is a collector of ancient relics. His youth was spent seeking across the planes for various items of rare or unique qualities. The majority of these things are not magical, just unique, or valuable through rarity. An item might be the one-of-a-kind ring worn by Emperor Such-and-Such that was lost during an uprising. It is not magical, just priceless through history and rarity, there is only one such ring in existance after all. Now he lives in Sigil, and continues to collect these unique items. He uses diviniation, research, and informers across the planes to help him seek out these items, then teleports, or planeshifts, in to see about collecting the item.
Vaden is a 20th-level wizard, who lives in Sigil now. guest appearances need not be at this point in his life though, as he could have had some of those encounters previously. Thus, while he is 20th level now, I could do guest appearances with him at any level prior to this. As a wealthy wizard, living in Sigil, he currently has lots of ability to be anywhere, and on any plane, which makes it easy to fit him into any sort of campaign or world. He would likely be a buyer of some ancient relic, but could also have a task for a group of adventurers to find such an item he knows is nearby.
I look forward to seeing what other NPCs people post here, and would love if anyone wants to send me feedback on this. Feedback should be sent via PM though, as we will want to try to keep this forum a bit cleaner so NPCs can be found easily by DMs.
