Chrysogon's Coterie is a supplement for the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game that features 288 non-player characters (NPCs) ranging from levels 1 to 9. The book is designed to be a resource for game masters (GMs) who want to populate their campaigns with interesting and memorable NPCs. The NPCs can also be used as pre-generated player characters with the GM's consent.
