Printable NPC cards for a game master who keeps a card for each non-player character. Each card has a portrait frame the table can see and labelled note lines to play the part. The samples are an innkeeper and a villain with written labels, and a blank card with every line empty. Each comes in parchment, gothic woodcut and modern flat styles. Type a direction, such as dwarf smith, and it is a request for that portrait.

  • a card for each character in a campaign
  • a portrait and notes for the table to see
  • a blank card for a new character
  • a handout for a shop or a tavern scene

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
