Heroes Now!
Theyre not stereotypes - nor are they cloned from a motion picture or television screen. Real heroes are unique. Even when made larger than life¸ they still vibrate with that last keyword: LIFE!
Yet so often¸ role players fall back on stereotypes - flat¸ un-original¸ cliché characters. If characters are developed at all¸ its in terms of their possessions or powers. Can someone really be defined by the car they drive or how well they throw a punch?
With the Central Casting: character creation system¸ characters take on lives of their own. They gain families¸ friends¸ enemies¸ personalities¸ detailed past histories¸ and most importantly¸ - they gain motivations for life and adventuring. Complete a Central Casting history for a character and you will know where she carne from¸ what shes done with her life¸ and who she knows - both her friends and her enemies. Youll have a real character on your hands.
The Central Casting system is a stand-alone network of tables¸ charts and roleplay guides for creating thoroughly individualized characters. By following step-by-step instructions¸ Game Masters and players can give life to any character. All you need is dice.
