Speech Patterns for NPCs - A GM Cheat Sheet
You will like this if you:
- If you are a Game Master with NPCs in your game,
- If you want to spice things up a bit without resorting to Accents & voices.
- ...or if you in fact use Accents & voices, but want to expand your repertoire.
Why I did it & how I use it:
I'm GMing a lot, & along the course of the years I felt like my NPCs start to feel & sound the same.
This cheat sheet helps me keep things fresh.
For your information, I never roll an NPC speech pattern during a session, that would disturb me too much. Instead,
- I use this cheat sheet during session prep, when I prep an interesting NPC.
- During a session, I may glance at it to spice up an impromtu NPC, picking whatever option gets my fancy.
Do not overuse it on the same NPC. To keep things comfortable for yourself, I recommend 1~2 speech pattern results by NPC.
And if you enjoy it, follow me for news of my next project!

This is such an amazing idea!! I definitely struggle to differentiate NPC voices and I am so excited to try this out the next time I'm running something involving NPCs.
What a brilliant little tool! I used it for my Cairn session tonight and it just brought the NPCs to life :)
A GM tool for the AGES, this is wonderful stuff.
Just saw this, IT IS AMAZING! I have a lot of NPCs and I cant do accents for the life of me. This is a great product and I will definetely use it in my party’s next shopping session! Great work!👍
