NPCs

Just what the heck is an NPC? NPCs are Non-Player Characters sent into the game either by the Dungeon Master (DM), or, if playing a store-bought campaign, by the storyline itself to help RPG players, such as a guide or helpful townsperson; hinder them, such as a singular beastie or group of monsters bent on their destruction; deceive them, such as an agent of evil or a paid informant working against their quest, and other variations.

The DM decides what the characters need to experience through NPCs based on their alignment, quest, race, level, and other factors. The DM may choose to never reveal why certain happenstances occurred but leave that to mystery and future games for the full details to be shown in the light of day.Game Dates
