WADY 13: One Shots Part 3: NPCs and Premade Characters
Welcome to Episode 13 of We Aren't Dead Yet, a podcast throwing magic missiles into the ttrpg, gamer and speculative fiction sphere and seeing whether we come out alive at the end.
Today's episode... One Shots Part 3: NPCs and Premade Characters!
In the third segment of our Writing TTRPG One Shots series, we discuss the importance of memorable NPCs and pre-made player characters in crafting a focused, compelling narrative. We explore tips and techniques for developing vibrant personalities, intriguing backstories, and tangible motivations that breathe life into these characters, as well as share insights on how to ensure NPCs and pre-gens are purposefully woven into the adventure's core conflict and storyline. Learn our best practices for introducing and depicting these characters in gameplay and how to communicate these characters to the GMs playing your one shots.
We’ll see you next week for the fourth episode of our One Shot series!
