J is for Justin Dunsworth, Eldritch Construction Worker
Name: Justin Dunsworth Campaign: Wrath of the Cosmic Accountant The phrase “player character” conjures up a certain mental image. PCs are usually heroic (or charmingly antiheroic), capable (or charmingly inept), free of emotional and personal baggage that affects play (except … Continue reading
I is for Icranouf Loroden, Professional Shouter
Name: Icranouf Loroden Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Deed of Taiyun Gao Once of the reasons I have Sessions Zero for all my campaigns is to make sure the players are all on the same page regarding character design. … Continue reading
H for Hadarai, Frosty Frost Mage What Frosts Things
Name: Hadarai Campaign: The Great Tower of Oldechi I used to think I was a pure simulationist. I wanted worlds to make logical sense first and foremost, even if that meant campaigns didn’t have a fully satisfying story or particularly … Continue reading

E is for Egan Mospru, Second Keeper of Quaison’s Memory
Name: Egan Mospru Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Deed of Taiyun Gao I’ve done a lot of talking about characters I liked. Let’s mix things up a little. Egan was definitely the best character in his campaign. His competition … Continue reading
D is for Danny, Whip-Wielding Bard
Name: Danny Campaign: Wrath of the Cosmic Accountant Danny is a great example of the hazards of picking last. He was the fifth character in the campaign, and by the time we got around to him in session zero we … Continue reading
C is for Cid Viscous, Disgusting Slime
Name: Cid Viscous Campaign: The Great Tower of Oldechi Yes, it’s a pun. There are a lot of puns in my character list. Mostly from one guy. I think Cid was the heaviest reskinning I’ve ever seen from a player. … Continue reading

B is for Bjarn, Borris, and Baerd, Dwarven Dwarves
Name: Bjarn, Borris, and Baerd Campaign: The Great Tower of Oldechi We’re only at B and I’m already cheating, but I felt I really needed to discuss all of these characters together. All three of these characters were dwarves in … Continue reading

A is for Azeld, Blackguard Princess
Name: Princess Azeld Campaign: The Legend of Zelda: Shaman Gates Things of course, start difficult. It turns out I’ve had more characters beginning with the letter A than any other. Possible contenders for this spot included: Steampunk Iron Man/Wolverine hybrid … Continue reading
