Having a bit of trouble with my google-fu here. There used to be "Rich Made (tm)" world building articles on the web site proper, and they're mentioned in the sticky thread above. There was a particularly fantastic one about giving your villains depth. I think Rich was building the Fire King or some such. A half devil who loathed his half breed status, but it was the human part he hated. It had a questionnaire of 12 or 13 questions... what are his moral limits, what's his plan if the PCs weren't to interfere, how does he treat his minions, and so on... the last question was what would his entrance/theme music be. Our table has used a modified version of this as a PC worksheet since Rich had first posted it . Regardless, I'm working on a one off for the table, and was hoping to review those articles, the villain building one in particular but cannot seem find them on the site or the forum. Anybody help a old decrepit brother out?? Also, been a heartbeat or two since I've been round these parts. Hope everyone is well!
