Episode #2: You have my sword - creating sidekicks for your campaigns!

Show Notes

This week, Ryan and Fiona discuss creating sidekicks - minor characters who join and help your player characters on their quests. In particular, we look at the reasons why we might include sidekicks in our games and how to create the 3 different types of sidekicks: Expert, Spellcaster, and Warrior. 

Chapter discussed: 'Sidekicks' (p142 - 147) in 'Ch. 4: Dungeon Master's Tools'

Book: 'Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything' by Wizards of the Coast, November 2020.
