Best Supporting Actors: Adversaries and Allies contains 172 ready-to-play characters built as individuals. Each has a brief story, describing something of their past, motivations, and salient details. The book is in A5 format (like the various rules tomes)

There are enough that you’ll likely find one to fit your needs, as an adversary, ally, person encountered in a tavern, or as a pre-generated PC to get a game going fast. It’s likely that there are sufficient numbers that you won’t need to use the same character twice!

These make great wandering parties of pilgrims or adventurers, allowing you to pick out a half-dozen or a dozen to answer the question of “who’s in the inn?” Caravan guards worthy of chatting with around the fire. A remnant of a mercenary company who would make terrifying bandits or worthy hirelings. Or both!

I hope that those of you who followed and backed the Old-School Solos project will help support this new one. As both a GM and a creator I enjoy making resources to make games run smoother and faster, and I’ve always liked the concept of a large book of interesting folks so that our fictional worlds seem a little bit more real.

Please join me and support Best Supporting Actors: Adversaries and Allies. It runs for about a month, from today through April 8.
