Mano a Mano:Players

Players and Characters

The Mano a Mano rules are designed for games with one or more players where each player controls one or more individual characters. Mano a Mano is designed for role-playing games and has more detail about each character than strategy games where each player directs an army or large group of characters. One person may be a Game Master (GM) who referees the game and controls the bad guys, while the regular players control the heroes. In games refereed by a GM, characters controlled by the GM are called Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and characters controlled by the regular players are called Player Characters (PCs.) PCs and NPCs use the same rules, so Mano a Mano can also be used in games that do not have a GM.
