NPC Network Analysis
Purpose
Analyze and visualize relationships between NPCs, their faction affiliations, knowledge networks, and social connections. Identify isolated NPCs, missing connections, and opportunities for richer storytelling.
Analysis Process
1. Gather NPC Data
list_characters(character_type: "npc")
# Filter by location or faction for focused analysis:
list_characters(character_type: "npc", location: "Waterdeep")
list_characters(character_type: "npc", faction: "Zhentarim")
# For each NPC:
get_character(character_id: character_id)
Extract from each NPC: name, role, location, faction affiliation, and module assignment.
2. Extract Implicit Relationships
Read documents to find relationship mentions:
# Campaign-level documents (world lore, session notes)
list_documents() # omit module_id for campaign-level docs
read_document(document_id: document_id)
# Module-level documents
# For each module:
list_documents(module_id: module_id)
read_document(document_id: document_id)
Look for:
- Direct relationships: "X is Y's brother"
- Implied connections: Characters in the same location
- Faction ties: Members of the same organization
- Conflict relationships: Enemies, rivals
- Knowledge chains: Who knows what secrets
3. Build Relationship Matrix
Categorize relationships:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Family | Blood relations, marriage |
| Professional | Employer/employee, colleagues |
| Faction | Same organization membership |
| Location | Same place, neighbors |
| Conflict | Enemies, rivals, grudges |
| Secret | Hidden connections players can discover |
| Knowledge | Who knows information about whom |
4. Network Analysis
Identify:
Hub NPCs — Characters with many connections. These are high-value targets for players. Consider: Are they protected? What happens if they die?
Isolated NPCs — Characters with no connections. These represent missed storytelling opportunities. Consider: How do players encounter them?
Faction Clusters — Groups of connected NPCs. Map internal faction dynamics and cross-faction connections.
Information Flow — How does news travel? Who would know if X happened? Trace rumor mill paths.
