One of the defining features of roleplaying games is the existence of two types of characters: those controlled by the players (PCs), and those controlled by the game master (NPCs or GMCs). On this episode of Gemstone Shards, Gregory and Mike ask the questions, "Is there a difference between the PCs and NPCs on your world? If so, what?" They'll also look at the reasons why player characters adventure, what role your NPCs play in your world, and how well-developed game master characters can help prevent negative PC behavior in your game!
