RPG a Day 2024: Day 22

 RPG a Day 2024, day 22: Notable non-player character?


As all GMs know, the most notable NPC in any campaign is the one you make up on the spot, that the players love/loathe so much that they have to keep coming back. However, this post will mot contain such an anecdote.

What I will discuss is the raft of great NPC found in The Two-Headed Serpent. The Caduceus Organization is central to the plot, and is the organization that send the Heroes out on missions. It has a wonderful array of NPCs that the players can interact with, from the quartermaster who gets them the kit they desire, the secretary/assistant who they must deal with to get in touch with the higher-ups, to the squabbling family in charge of the Organization.

No spoilers, but I think my players really got to know these NPCs, and when he twists and turns of the plot hit, they were sometimes in a real moral quandary as to how to interact with these people.

I recommend this campaign for many reasons, but it's the NPCs from all the chapters that are the real soul of the campaign.
