Emergent Characters
The article introduces Emergent Characters (EC), a tabletop role-playing game supplement that focuses on concise character details relevant for both players and gamemasters. It offers an alternative approach compared to traditional written backstories, encouraging improvisation by having GMs focus more closely onto characters' traits with the help of tables while giving guidance in creating engaging stories through its system's level of magic within settings. Emergent Characters can be used as a supplement for other tabletop role-playing games or incorporated into any commercial work provided proper attribution is given to the original source material, Creative Commons license permitting self-use and sharing by others without restrictions on personal works created with this tool in mind!
