Some Sample(d) Strangers is a 4d20 zine of weird character ideas ripped straight from the lyrics of Aesop Rock, Björk, Dan Deacon, Death Grips, Deerhoof, Guided by Voices, Joanna Newsom, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and others. Create a one-of-a-kind, system-neutral player character or NPC from a total of 4 sextillion possible combinations, or pick one of the premade characters randomly rolled and expertly illustrated by Evlyn Moreau.

Printed on uncoated paper so you can color the characters!

Each set of samples includes:

• A Background, detailing their profession, species, history, or motivation. Take on the role of a Plant Thief, the Horse Who Made Believe, a Spider’s Ghost, or a Dystopian Dream Girl. 
• A Unique Ability, such as summoning rats, medusa gaze, reptilian beauty secrets, or “Giving Bad People Good Ideas”.
• A Special Item, like a pint of snake blood, an apron full of boulders, the Lord’s sword, or even a bitchin’ Trans Am.
• One Weird Quirk that really sets them apart from the rest. Do you get bigger the more damage you take? Are you Dumbstruck with the Sweetness of Being? Will Bees Not Leave You Alone?
