By 1979 TSR is churning out product in a pretty constant way, an example of this are the different character record sets being sold, the PC, NPC and Permanent PC Records all come out in the space of a few months and if you think about it you only REALLY need the first of these, but hey there’s a sucker born every minute, so might as well sell NPC character sheets to nerds, right? Nothing you couldn’t do with just pen and a blank sheet of paper or by repurposing a Player Character Sheet, but some people like neat things and this is kind of neat because it has spaces for factors that are not common in Player Characters, such as mental states and personality traits, special attacks and defenses and so on. I wouldn’t have bought it then because I’m stingy, but it’s cool to see them!
