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 may be too detailed for strategy games where a player directs armies or other large groups 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. Mano a Mano can also be used in games that do not have a GM. 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.)
