UNE, The Universal NPC Emulator (rev.)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $3.00

UNE is the Universal NPC Emulator. With just a handful of dice rolls, UNE can help create a surprising non-player character (NPC) with its own motivations. A few more dice rolls, and UNE can provide more direction to place the newly-created NPC smack dab in the center of the story. It can even help determine the NPC’s general mood towards the player characters.

Best of all UNE is system and setting agnostic. It will work in Techno-Roman science fiction just as well as 1930′s Cthulhu hour or apocalypse fantasy.

Examples and more tutorials for UNE can be found on the Conjecture Games Facebook page!

Hi, guys!

Does anyone have any leads on the tutorials mentioned in the UNE, relating to creating a story and other examples? I checked out conjecturegames.com site but it's no longer registered. Thanks for any guidance!

That video is great and I definitely recommend you watch it. You can also find an archive of the tutorials on the Conjecture Games website at the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20180912182409/http://conjecturegames.com/category/tutorials/une-tutorials/

I'm really excited to use this product! I've only skimmed so far, but I think it's just what I need for jumpstarting my creativity. I will come back and leave another review once I have more experience with the system.

Thank you so much for UNE! Playing a solo RPG, I felt like I was running out of options for NPCs and they were getting stale. This helps jumpstart my imagination and adds flavor to this characters, opening up new adventure possibilities. Really great.

There's a typo in the "Table 6: NPC Conversation Mood" table (on pages 11 and 16). The cell at "neutral and sociable" shows the range "71-85", but this should be "61-85".

Any Plans to offer this book as soft or hardcover as well?
I would more then happily buy it as ether a soft or hardcover instead of having it printed somewhere else

The author, Zach Best, passed away some time ago. In 2017 I believe.

Hi, sorry for the late response. This is Zach's wife, Katie. Zach did indeed pass away in 2017. You can contact me at best.zookeeper@gmail.com if there is something I can help you with.

So sorry for your loss Katie. I only just discovered UNE, CRGE, etc. I am really glad that they continue to be available here.
I think it's wonderful that even 4 years after his passing, Zach can continue to bring pleasure to people he never met, who enjoy using what he created.

Hi Kathleen, I translated UNE to Brazilian Portuguese, I am using it for my own games, but I'd happily share it with Conjecture Games. Let me know if I can send it to you.

Great product. I got it years ago and its in my GM bag of tricks all the time.
Just happened to find in available here. That is great.
Might I suggest, with the appendices, that some notes of what dice to roll and how many would be great.
Years ago, I made my UNE, into a screen, for ease of access.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
