Role Players have to take the role of one character, but a game master has to take the parts of the rest of the world including all the supporting cast.   Truly great games make even these minor characters come to life, so we’re providing a few characters to throw into your game to add a little extra vitality.  Each entry begins with a small fiction snippet to see the character in action with a link to the character description and how to use them.  This is followed by three possible story lines involving that character to give your plot options and depth.
