NPC/Quest Creation

Has anyone come up with an easy way to make NPCs and/or NPC quest lines using the SRD? So far for Siren Silk I have it down that you could pick 2 traits from a trait list (if using one), and then 1 skill and 1 flub to make an NPC, on top of using the Adjective table to fill in more gaps. For quests, I'm drawing a bit more of a blank, other than using the SRD's tables again.

I was wondering if there was anything more streamlined, or if anyone came up with anything better than that.

The only thing that comes to my mind right away is use the SRD adventure prompt tables a bunch of times, then maybe combine / tweak some of the results that feel best suited to your game’s setting and use them to make a new table? I realise that might be a bit too much extra work 😅

Adapting the SRD tables to have longer options instead of just adjectives, verbs etc? That way perhaps you could streamline it and have it be more specific to your setting?

That could do it - though yeah, that is a lot of work =w=;;;

I'll probably save that for after the game jam as a bigger update
