10 NPCs Who Are Lying to You (Free Taster)

Every one of them is lying to you: and these ten are free.

Ten people your players will meet in taverns, markets, courts and roadside ditches, each built the same way: who they appear to be, the lie your players hear, the truth underneath, and if discovered, what actually happens when the table works it out. Any entry can carry a scene or a session with no prep beyond reading four sentences.

These ten are new — none of them appear in the full volume. There’s one from each chapter of 100 NPCs Who Are Lying to You: Taverns & Inns · Merchants & Markets · The Watch & the Law · Temples & Cults · Nobles & Courtiers · The Underworld · Scholars, Wizards & Healers · The Road & the Wild · Ordinary Folk · The Strange Ones.

System-neutral. No stats, no rules text, no assumed setting. 3-page A4 PDF, print-friendly. Share it freely.
