==Creating a "3x3" for your Hero = 3 POINTS== A "3x3" is a simple idea I created long ago. It allows YOU (the players) to help co-create our setting by building NPCs that the GM can choose to use in the game. You should create the brief information for the idea that relates to your character allowing the GM to build from that point on.<br>Please include: the NPC's name, brief description, how they are connected to the PC, where were they last, any special powers/abilities, any suggestions for personality and if you choose an appropriate picture or image. Check [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Enregard_Brewer THIS SAMPLE] to get the idea of how to do a 3x3. * '''3 Friends''': NPCs connected to your PC, someone who would help you because they care about you. From your father, to a loyal fan, to someone willing to die for you. * '''3 Contacts''': NPCs connected to your PC, someone who would help you because you pay or trade favor with them. From the neighborhood bartender, to a police commisioner, to an old friend. * '''3 Enemies''': NPCs connected to your PC, someone who dislikes, hates or has a grudge on your character. From a childhood bully, to a someone who thought you cheated them in poker, to someone wanting you dead. '''Continuing from there the players need to know that:'''<br> '''A.''' Once the NPCs are "handed over" they're totally the GM's to develop <br> '''B.''' These NPCs are not permanent in their "category", for example if you do something roleplaying in-game that makes a Contact dislike you then they might fall OUT of the "contact" and become an enemy. <br>''' C.''' These NPCs may or may not show up soon. I go with the note that these NPCs aren't "canon" in-game continuity until I introduce them in campaign. Meaning, I don't want players to say "I'll just go to xxx for help". I'm cool with players asking to go find xxx but not just assuming they'll be there waiting for them. <br> I have since added two additional note/idea to the 3x3 (essentially making it a 3x5). If you wish you may replace ONE of the above 3x3 entries to include a Location and ONE to include an Organization if you like. * '''Locations''': Placed created in/for the setting that are connected to the PC, someplace that is special good or bad to your character. From the place your parents were killed, to your childhood home, to a place you watch the sunrise. * '''Organizations''': A group created for the setting that is connected to the PC, something for which the PC has worked for or against. From a police org, to a secret society, to a big corporate machine.
