GOALS - A framework for creating NPCs and factions that actually matter

GOALS is a five-point framework for building NPCs and factions that feel alive at the table. It asks five questions: what do they want, why can't they have it, what are they doing about it, how do they enforce their will, and what force is working against them from inside or outside?

Included in this trifold document is Prazhda — a system-agnostic adventure for 3-5 players that demonstrates the framework in practice. Two fully developed NPCs, a pressure-cooker scenario, and a situation that moves whether or not the players are watching.
