Manuals of the Dragon: Refining Purchase Adventures – Game Theory (DE Edition).

We started with “The Goblin’s Handbooks” – a series of guides on game design, world building and role-playing theory from the American region. However, there was a growing desire to produce something similar from a German perspective and with local authors. And so here they are: The Dragon’s Handbooks!

The books are not about dry theory and academic ivory towers, but about how you can get even more out of your game. Together with numerous well-known “makers” of the German scene, we have collected experience, tips and techniques in the books, no matter whether it is about crafting beautiful handouts or designing complex story structures.

Every role-player has asked himself more than once how he can make his own game round even better, how he can inspire his players even more as SL or how he can find the right character for the current campaign. There is no right or wrong way to play the game, but there is always the chance to learn something new!

Characters are the lynchpin of role-playing. The characters determine whether the game evening will be a success or fail due to boredom. No matter whether you prefer character play, thrilling stories in the foreground or simply like to fight your way through a dungeon – interesting and diverse characters enrich every role-playing game.

This book is aimed at players and game masters and shows new methods and approaches. How do you develop characters worth playing and adapt them to your needs? How do you breathe life into them and give them depth? How do you turn these characters into a functioning group? How do you weave gripping story arcs around them? How do you make them work for exciting fights and big conflicts?

Players Make People is a multifaceted toolbox with whose instruments you can emphasise and master the central aspect of role-playing: the characters.
