I made a completely customizable NPC generator and released it for free.

[@4saken404]

Please add an option to generate 10 at a time or something. That will generate a decent sized list and might make it easier to pick and chose, mix and max, etc. For example you might copy the raw list into a text editor and makes tweaks until you have 5 "finished" NPCs.

[@blackmagick77]

I appreciate you! No one does anything for free anymore. This is a breath of fresh air!

[@4saken404]

The voice generator thing is a super-neat concept. Looks to be a pretty simple way to implement it, too!

[@trevornoone5582]

Played around with the extension and I really like it! Happy that it isn't fantasy limited to just fantasy. My only gripe (as an Opera user) DARK MODE SUPPORT. The extension can go into dark mode but the text doesn't change, meaning i'm reading black text on a black background which isn't ideal. Otherwise, such a great tool for free!

[@joedavis6524]

I especially appreciate the voice description. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@Wyrenth]

I kinda wish there was just a website version of this -- I can handle having a separate tab vs. an extension floater, as I have a bookmarks folder of various tools like this. I also don't like to use Chrome.

[@manolitomera2030]

Same

[@jameseiner]

The other complaints are valid, but he said that there is a Firefox version available. So unless you're a safari user, you can use this. Edit: description clarified that firefox is not out yet, my bad

[@EpicAsianGuys]

@@jameseiner I'm a Safari user 😅. Sadly this means that I can't use this

[@alexgallacherVO]

@@jameseiner What about DuckDuckgo?

[@garion046]

This is awesome! Thanks for making it! And as an extension is great, as you say its really nice to have it at hand regardless of what i have open.

[@bobmichaelsen2891]

Just installed it. Immediately in love. I appreciate you and the work you do!

[@xalwine]

excited for the firefox version!

[@clairemack2750]

Seconded! I abandoned Chrome for the versatility of Firefox.

[@DungeonMasterQuest]

This thing about the amount of info we're able to retain is super helpful. that alone is a very nice tip.

[@eignatik]

that's a great extension :) I really like that it's in the extension. I lack a button "show previous", but it's all good :)

[@heidijugovic6342]

Thanks for the amazing extension - customizing it was so easy and I can have exactly what I want when I'm improvising!😍💞💝

[@powerwordspill]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!

[@digital-alchemist]

Very cool and handy! With this generator + some random tables + half a page of notes, you can pretty much run a game with just 30 min. of prep (or less). I'd also recommend "Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master" by Mike Shea for awesome tips on making DM life easier.

[@deanolerks8787]

This extension seems really helpful and I think you must have put a lot of thought into your explanation (and keeping it condensed). I am subscribe. Also, voice description generator is going to be particularly helpful for me, cheers.

[@draginbane]

Is this open source? Can we access the source code in a github?

[@lyrsglassblossom]

Oh man this is SO cool!!! Seriously, I can't wait to try this out😍 Especially the voice descriptions are gonna be a life saver for me while dming! Thank you so much for all your fantastic work! I appreciate you🧡

[@simontemplar3359]

That is so cool! You rule for sharing your time and skills with us! Thank you very very much!

[@StoryTeller8692]

Kudos for citing Cowan on short term memory and not the outdated, but classic and more commonly known Miller study "The magical number seven, plus or minus two". Turned out that 3-5 chunks is a lot more realistic than 7 if you don't just test a few highly intelligent professors. Here's a little tip for supporting your players memory: Group chunks of you have more than 3-5. For example: He was a brown haired, thin half-elf. His blue eyes looked around suspicously. Now you have two groups of information, which doesn't guarantee your players memorizing all details, but it makes it more likely. If you have characteristics that are more important, tell them first and last. This makes use of the "Primacy-Recency-Effect". People are more likely to remember information that came at the beginning (primacy) and at the end (recency), with the primacy effect being stronger than the recency effect. We can even see that in the video. On the first trial with 10 items, she remembered the first half better than the second and once she struggled, she was able to remember something from the end of the list. It doesn't perfectly mirror the theory of course, but that's just something inherently true for all psychological theories in my experience. And as a bonus, 4-5 chunks of information came relatively easily, just as Cowan would predict.

[@richardmiller9883]

Dials for weighting certain results or linking name to gender might be useful.

[@MrColtOF]

The best and complete npc generator i have ever seen!

[@ZSchrink]

This is excellent; I'll try it out, but I'm definitely awaiting the Firefox version 💜 This looks amazing

[@iampfaff]

Thank you so much for your videos! Been watching since the first video, I appreciate all the hard work you do to make my job easier!

[@MistaGawd]

I like it. Adding in things is very simple. I would like the option or maybe a link to a page detailing what the default options entail so I can see if I need to add my own or not. Keep up the great work!

[@I3urnHard]

Ooooh this one is nice. Love the breakdown of the memory amount. Thank you for the extension, it will be used with appreciation 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@blotcho84]

That such a cool tool Kelly, thanks!

[@HorizontalBob28]

please make an update on shorts or the community tab once the firefox version is out. the generator looks awesome

[@InvasorJim101]

This is actually so helpful! I'll try it next time. I look forward to the Firefox version as well.

[@1stleveldmgames798]

Oh the Lore in Symbaroum. Complementing your stack of books

[@blackshard641]

I didn't notice until you pointed it out. Symbaroum is amazing.

[@Harbinjero]

Thank You! I'd love to be able to save settings (and later retrieve them) to create different ones for different campaigns/regions/other reasons.

[@dominikwindgatter2893]

your videos are always such high quality! it is a shame you don't have more subscribers. thx for making these

[@OnlyZipho]

im still baffeled how you are not one of the biggest dnd content creators... like at least in the millions, so much so that I legit looked at you subcount and was visibally confused

[@DnDAddictUK]

Love this... installed and will totally use

[@TylerWhitlock]

This is absolutely FANTASTIC

[@leroios]

Congrats for your work !

[@Reggyor]

Love your videos man! I actually made the DM screen with a monitor in it. My players love it! Thank you!

[@Drabytt]

Amazing work, thank you so much!

[@64bitrobot]

Eagerly awaiting the release of the firefox extension here. Can't wait. Also, this channel is one of the most upbeat D&D channels, being here is always a blast.

[@hellhole_janitor]

Love it! I'll definitely use it in my next campaign 10/10

[@chan12235]

This is amazing and very helpful!! Thank you so much!!

[@lastofthehuntsmen1855]

Sounds and looks good, can't wait for Firefox

[@C0untersignal]

exporting to a foundryvtt token+ randomly generated token art would be sick.

[@bearcat1868]

Dude, this is so cool!

[@VitoWolf-me3tq]

Thanks for the content and extra tools…. I appreciate you

[@TomDarlington]

Obsidian plug-in?

[@jimmyh1187]

I second this, would be an amazing plug-in for that :O

[@a-logicofficial6864]

I started using obsidian due to his video. So this would be awesome!

[@Stormwovles]

Hard agree

[@virrcraft]

Hell yeah, where to sign? It might be just awesome to have it in obsidian

[@arronalt]

that would be perfect for me

[@rollednatural20]

Fantastic! Thank you. This is amazing! 🎉

[@albyonabsey]

What a wonderful resource!!

[@odj310388]

Really cool will 100% use this.

[@darthemphatic4654]

This is so cool. I honestly wish it was integrated into improved initiative since I use that already and have it open at all times during my games, but that's me just being picky. It seems like the custom lists need to be available by gender. If I am randomly looking to pull a female character from the custom list, I'll be clicking until I get one that I think fits....unless I am missing something. Thanks, again for this. It is unbelievable cool and I am so grateful that you created and I very much look forward to using it!

[@WardNightstone]

A Mobile version would be appriciated as i am more likely to use it on my phone or a tablet

[@khayyin359]

100%! I'd already be playing with this if it was on mobile (web app, native, whatever), but now my ADHD butt can only hope I'll remember when I'm back at my computer 🥲 Still, this looks great, and I look forward to (hopefully) tinkering with it

[@redd_Jack340]

This is very cool. Allowing for custom fields would be super helpful. I'm trying to crank out Jobs and Inventory for level-0 characters

[@randomtvninja]

I can't believe I mentioned this yet, but you're basically the Theo of TTRPGs.

[@thedude7319]

If you want to remember nps more. Just close your eyes and visualise them. Similar to how if you focus on someones traits you remember them clearly, great trait if you ever have to give out a describtion for missing person

[@AAUnchained]

While this is amazing, making it a browser extension is inconvenient...

[@grantcroshaw5789]

Thisi is a great video with great ideas.

[@mikefrye]

this is an amazing tool. would love to see a Safari version

[@arcanjl]

You’re brilliant

[@dragongod2000]

This is going in my rng toolbag

[@Thandulfan]

this needs to be Foundry addon as well

[@Gemlin300]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely be using this. How long did this take you to put together?

[@paulf4762]

Very cool! If you put this on firefox I'll definitely add it!

[@bulbapat]

So cool! Thank you!!

[@TheDoranMaster]

Awesome tool 👏

[@TheGrouchCouch]

❤🖤❤🖤❤

[@honeybeesandbuttercups]

UR SO COOL FOR THIS

[@dariosarra7840]

This should become a FoundryVTT extension 🎉

[@Atrivion]

I think there are NPC generators for Foundry. I used one that created a NPC sheet for the person along with name, race gender, backstory etc. Cant remember the name though =(

[@melodybales2038]

I immediately downloaded this AND sent it to my friend who struggles to name her characters. Her most recent one was Vairus (pronounced virus). So anyways here's to that not happening again.

[@sivloc34]

Hey this is really useful ! I've been trying to come up with something along these lines - without managing to end up with something i was happy with - for a few months. I was missing the reflexion about the number of key points as well. Would you be okay with me making a french equivalent (with due credit of course) ? Top tier work anyway !

[@DrakeBergman]

It would be awesome to have this as a Safari version for my iPad without installing a separate browser

[@Squid-pocalypse]

Does it also describe personalities? If it doesn't, there's a great system that would be pretty easy to implement that I highly recommend. It's from a tool called towninator where there are 5 lines of opposing personality traits and a set of 5 open or closed dots in between each pair. The closed dots indicate how strong that trait is compared to the other

[@loppydoodle726]

Tysm!!

[@T.BG822]

Nifty. Less useful for worlds with significant racial divides in terms of ages, name structure*, etc., or for settings which explicitly aren't modern in tone, unless I'm missing something, but damn fine for modern setting/flavoured games. *Draconians in my worlds, for instance, trend toward three-syllable mononyms.

[@DakJD]

I love this extension, although since my browser has a darker background, the black text is very difficult to read without highlighting or copy and pasting it into a different window. Could you make an option to change the color of the text? That would be amazing. Otherwise, this is a great resource. Nice job!

[@BrianPivik]

Firefox sooner than later, please! 😊

Okay, I'm trying to remember the NPC description he gave and recall as many details as I can. Let me know how I did: ✓Male specializing in Finance ✓Has a trust fund ✓6'5" ✓Blue Eyes

[@dandmadeeasy]

Imagine you could also use this to automatically create cards for NPCs to print or upload to a VTT. I've been working on the cards portion of that for some time and would love a collab if you're interested. (Like if you want to see this happen!) This is awesome, by the way, I'm a real sucker for customizability too!

[@CeliriaRose]

Any chance of getting an app version eventually for use on Ipad?

[@mikitz0674]

Is the extension open source? I want to fork it to turn it into a client-side, Github-hosted web app, which would make it accessible from all browsers.

[@dragongod2000]

Is there a part to the generator that makes sure it doesn't give contradictory traits, like flawless skin and covered in dirt or something

[@christianquanzalez]

WOOOOOO

[@Jason-d7j]

The Extension works in Firefox, but I can't see anyway to get into the options to tweak settings.

[@ruolbu]

as a browser plug in? thats a weird choice

[@redvex2114]

As a chrome plugin, so it's not 100% free 🤥

[@HerrClementzin]

😍😍❤️❤️ Wow

[@antieverything1]

I'm irrationally angry that I still don't have access to the Firefox plugin! This is an outrage and I want to talk to your manager! in all seriousness, though, thanks!

[@M.Melnick]

Do you have a link to the research you referenced?

[@Gamerdudegames]

Can you make an update video or community post when the Firefox version launches? I want to use this extension but I won't remember to check back regularly.

[@powerwordspill]

Will do!

[@zombirk9927]

but can I implement it into obsidian?

[@sergeyk9060]

Hello Power Word Spill New viewer here, watching your every video. I noticed most of them are about how to DM, but what about players? Can you give us a peak of what makes a good player, that dms love? I think you could make a very comprehensive video about it.

[@MemphiStig]

Well tbf, "stock build and a scar" makes it 6. You got 5/5 technically. That would be a good exercise to improve your recall. Start small and as you get better, add more, just like the gym. Might not help longterm, but that's what notes are for. Also reminds of the old electronic game Simon, testing concentration, memory, and your tolerance for flashing lights and beeps and boops and buzzes.

[@zachthenebula]

Firefox please :)
