Carnival Row NPC Generator

For NPCs in a D&D home game set in Carnival Row.

A generator to help me create NPCs quickly, using Guy's system from How to be a Great Game Master. This generator is meant to help guide the NPC's dialogue; their motivations, origins, personality, education, mood, and how they feel about the PCs.
