After getting a host of good suggestions for GMing wiki topics last month, I decided to get the Bulk Up the GMing Wiki Project going ahead of schedule. Originally planned as 52 one-week mini-projects for 2007, it’s now a monthly event with a few topics up for grabs each month. We’ll see how the first couple of months go, and adjust accordingly.
For the rest of December 2006 and all of January 2007, the topic on the front burner is NPCs. Specifically:
- Creating NPCs – Tips on making memorable NPCs
- Instant NPCs – System-neutral, ready-to-use NPCs
- Roleplaying NPCs – Getting the most out of your NPCs
Wiki accounts are free, and even if you only have a few minutes to spare that’s all it takes to improve the wiki. Jot down an NPC, correct an error, add a section — the field is wide open.
I hope you’ll take part in this community project, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
I’ll see if I can whip up something this week. It’ll be great to see the Wiki beffed up over the next year!
Doing what I can during the Silly Season… No guarantees, but already added a couple of NPCs to the roster.
It’s kind of a tradition to start TT projects at weird times — the forums went live on 12/28, clearly scheduled for maximum impact. 😉
Kudos to Telas, Brcarl, ScottM and Xcorvis — you guys have contributed some good stuff already!
Thanks!
