Pretty much every DM probably experienced this at some point: You’re preparing the next location your players will come across and you’re looking for pictures on the internet to enhance your visual descriptions of the place. When it comes to the residents, though, it usually gets difficult: There are some portraits to be found for shining heroes or obvious villains, but almost everyone is super beautiful—and in the case of females, young and sexy. What if you don’t want your townsfolk to be a commune of super models? Well, tough luck.
So I tried to address this shortage of regular townsfolk in this collection of portraits. There are 15 male and 15 female characters of varying ages and degrees of beauty. My goal was to give you guys NPCs you can freely place according to your needs. It was important to me that they feel like the normal, average population of Aventuria. Some young, some old, some prettier, some less so. Like humans are.
So I hope this is helpful to you and your campaings. Let me know if you like these, because I might make another batch at some point, if I feel that people actually use them.
Enjoy your time in Aventuria!
