459 Historic Professions/Jobs/Trades for Fantasy RPG Settings
Below is a huge list of 459 jobs, careers, professions, trades, etc from throughout history which can be used for Player’s Characters, or Non-Player Characters (NPCs) when creating them for your Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or any RPG Fantasy Setting, or Randomly Generated City or Town.

104 Great Old School Words (and Insults!) for Fantasy Games & RPGs
