One of the best ways to make our RPG worlds feel real and vibrant is to fill them with well-rounded characters who are integrated into the game world at all levels of play.

This post discusses what secondary PCs are, how you can incorporate them into your game, and why you might want to. Secondary PCs are a great way to develop DMPCs and sub-plots in your duet. They can also give you some breathing room if you need more time to prep a setting or major event.
