Sneak Peek: Character Cards
Added 2019-09-16 22:31:17 +0000 UTCHey sneaky peekers,
We're hard at work on the ReQuest Pack pieces you voted for, and we're far enough along in the process to start showing some of it!
In several of these pieces we're including a brand new format to present NPC characters that we're calling Character Cards. These cards have been specifically designed to help the Game Master improvise role-playing scenes; on the front they feature a name and a character portrait, and on the back you can find a sample phrase of dialogue and three personality traits. These personality traits also function as plot hooks - each of these characters have at least one thing they want from the party, or one thing they can help the party with.
Character Cards can be used in two ways:
During game prep, to prepare for upcoming scenes. In this case, the "notes" section can be used to elaborate on the NPC, and determine where and how they will come into play.
Alternatively, they can be used to help improvise scenes when players go places the Game Master wasn't expecting them to do. Have a handful of these cards at the ready, and pull out ones that are appropriate for the situation! The "notes" section can be used to write down reminders for later.
Let us know if you like the idea of these Character Cards! We think it's a great way to present NPCs, and we're having a lot of fun making them. If you guys like them, we can make a lot more of this type of content moving forward.
Thank you sneaky sneakos for your support! Hope you're looking forward to the ReQuest Pack drop!
