There’s something about a group of strangers that will band together to complete a quest, save a town, or just go kill the bad guy. They are seeking honor, fame & glory, revenge, or gold (mostly gold) and are even willing to sacrifice their lives when necessary. Here’s the characters that have played in my games.
“Wintermute was a simple cube of white light, that very simplicity suggesting extreme complexity.”
― William Gibson, Neuromancer
