What’s Inside the Traveller/Cepheus Agent NPC Pack
Need a fully-built character right now? Running a convention game? Want instant NPCs for a patrol, sting operation, or covert mission?
You’re going to love this one.
Introducing Humanoid Resources Dept.: Agents (Expanded Edition) — a streamlined collection of 36 professionally-designed Agent characters ready to drop into any Traveller-style 2D6 Sci-Fi campaign.
This Expanded Edition sets the new standard for the entire HRD series: clearer layouts, richer detail, and a clean, consistent format built for fast use at the table.
What’s Inside
This volume includes:
- 36 complete character sheets across three classic Agent archetypes
- Attributes, modifiers, HP, Speed, Armor, Weapons, Skills
- Gear loadouts appropriate to espionage, law enforcement, intelligence, and corporate security
- Augments, contacts, and enemies for instant story hooks
- A d66 quick-select table to pull a random Agent in seconds
- System-agnostic design compatible with Traveller, Cepheus Engine, and other 2d6 sci-fi rules
Everything is presented in a clean, readable layout—perfect for fast reference on laptops, tablets, or printed handouts.
Why GMs Will Want This on Hand
If you run 2d6 sci-fi games regularly, you already know how often you need:
- A security team
- An investigator
- An internal auditor
- A covert ops specialist
- A bounty agent
- A corporate troubleshooter
- …or just a quick replacement PC
This collection gives you all of that with zero prep.
Every character is fully usable as-is, or can serve as a seed for deeper storylines across espionage missions, frontier investigations, and starport intrigue.
Perfect for Conventions and Pick-Up Games
The HRD series has always been about getting players into the game instantly.
This Expanded Edition is ideal for:
- Walk-up convention players
- Store demo nights
- Emergency replacement characters
- One-shot adventures
- “Mission of the Week” play
- NPCs with real depth and mechanical detail
If someone walks into your gaming space and says, “I’ve never played Traveller before — can I join?”
You can hand them an HRD sheet and start playing immediately.
