WADY 10: Side Characters Explored

Welcome to Episode 10 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... Side Characters Explored!

In this episode, we take a look at side characters in literature and tabletop roleplaying games. We'll start by exploring how to deal with multiple minor characters in your cast and creating layered minor character in literature. Then we examine the role of non-player characters (NPCs) in TTRPGs, discussing the various types of NPCs and offering tips for game masters on how to effectively utilize them to enrich the gaming experience. From establishing clear motivations to creating memorable character traits, we'll provide practical advice on how to breathe life into your supporting cast.

We’ll see you next week for the first episode of our One Shot series!
