Roadmap & Updates

NPCRoll is an ongoing effort to make 5e campaigns easier, richer, and funnier to play. This page outlines what’s released, what’s currently in development, and what’s planned for upcoming updates.

Released

Already at the tavern table

v1.0 — Core Library Pack

Core content

The first stable release of NPCRoll focuses on a tight, versatile core: iconic fantasy races, a small but powerful set of professions, and full coverage for sex and alignment. This forms the foundation of the entire library.

Additions:

  • Races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Orc, Tiefling
  • Sex: Male, Female
  • Alignments: full 9-point 5e grid
  • Professions: Merchant, Innkeeper, Noble, Warrior, Mage, Priest

Brewing

Simmering in the kitchen cauldron

v1.1 — Goblinoid Clans Pack

New races

This pack brings in the most hated low-level troublemakers in any 5e campaign: goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. From “totally trustworthy” goblin merchants to hobgoblin officers who run tighter schedules than most kingdoms, this pack covers the full range of goblinoid nonsense.

Additions:

  • Races: Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear

Planned

Waiting in the cellar barrels

v1.2 — Wilderness Professions Pack

New professions

From seasoned trail experts to silent scouts and recluses who prefer trees to people, this pack brings the NPCs that make wilderness exploration feel alive. Sometimes they are helpful, sometimes hostile, and occasionally wise.

Additions:

  • New professions: Hunter, Guide, Scout, Bandit, Hermit

v1.3 — Draconic Bloodlines Pack

New races

This pack brings in the draconic side of the family: proud dragonborn and kobolds who are absolutely convinced they belong in the same category. From thunder-voiced diplomats to jittery trap-makers with dangerous levels of optimism, this pack delivers the full spectrum of draconid energy: proud, chaotic, and at times combustible.

Additions:

  • Races: Dragonborn, Kobold

v1.4 — The Small & Mighty Pack

New races

This pack explores the most unbalanced duo imaginable: tiny gnomes and towering goliaths. Whether you need excitable inventors, gentle mountain giants, overconfident tinkerers, or goliaths who believe “subtlety” is a kind of stew, this pack covers the full range of oddball encounters.

Additions:

  • Races: Gnome, Goliath

Where shall we set forth?

NPCRoll is meant to grow into whatever the community needs it to become. Beyond new NPCs and content packs, the project can evolve in new directions to make your next adventures funnier and easier: tools, features, and ideas shaped by the people who use it. Your feedback directly influences what gets built next.
