Got a small adventuring party and need some trusted minions to round it out? Remember the good old days when you could have loads of henchmen? If so, Henchfolk & Hirelings is for you!
Based on the classic rules presented in the 1st edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game, Henchfolk & Hirelings provides an alternative system to Leadership for handling your character's most favoured companions. Henchfolk & Hirelings also presents 100 potential henchmen for your PCs, each benefiting from basic information (alignment, sex, race, class and ability scores) as well as notes detailing their background, personality, mannerisms and distinguishing features.
Alternatively, the GM can use the 100 NPCs within to depict fellow adventurers and other persons of note the PCs encounter on their adventures.

Reviews
“To sum up, this is a surprisingly useful supplement. It is cogent, well written, and has some nice illustrations. The writers are fulfilling a real need that is derived from actual gaming experience. I have seen lists of hirelings and NPC's elsewhere... but nothing with this degree of utility. This supplement is well worth the gold pieces.”
–Jeff Johnson (5 star)
“I’d highly recommend this product to any GM.”
“There is scarcely such an easily usable pdf out there and the value you get for your money is astonishing, making this one of the most expedient files to have as a GM. If you're DMing for a fantasy setting, any one really, be sure to check this out. You won't regret it. I hope there will be sequels.”
--Endzeitgeist (4.5 stars)
