Trying to populate an entire town with unique characters but that's a fuck ton of sheets to make. If you've got characters in pathbuilder or screen shots of a sheet I'd love to copy them over. If you want to give them a bit a background I'll use that too. Have your character guest star in another game!
I don't know if any but the most pathologically dedicated groups have played all the APs, and most DMs can't be bothered converting stuff, so there's definitely a lot of groups out there still going through older adventures with no plans to move on.
I suppose that's true but it would have to be a pretty long running group, 2e came out like five years ago. My group has been going for like four years though so i guess if youre lucky you can find a really long term group.
Well, I recently wrote down the more or less friendly NPCs of my campaign. Most of them are probably better in long standing campaigns, levelling up next to the players (I sent the level 20 versions), but just scaling them down to the level you need shouldn't be a problem. Most are human. https://send.vis.ee/download/786a985f4cb799cf/#tyCMkgw5i8n4SWudyV5kCg
