Question: some of my players are ending the end of their characters. Does switching archetypes erase the corruption you have? Are all characters forced to die/retire eventually?
Hi everyone!
Hi everyone! I just started playing US with a small group and we are loving it so far. I’ve DMed D&D5e for about 9 months and have played in other PbtA games before, but I’m having some issues MCing US–particularly, issues with NPCs.
I know people have posted about this in the past before, but I’m looking for a little more advice.
My NPCs are simply not powerful enough to take on my PCs (one of which is a very powerful Wolf, and another is a Tainted with a lot of corruption moves–major damage dealers!). How can I beef up my NPCs in a way that still makes them seem fair?
I’m also trying to figure out a good balance between cagey, nervous NPCs working to please their bosses and NPCs that will freely provide information. I–as a person–don’t think that people would be so forthcoming with important information if it was terribly important. Any tips on this as well?
I’m constantly working to improve my DM skills, and NPCs are a huge part of that!
