Narrator’s Guide
This section is specifically for Narrators who want to weave a Story of Isora.
For experienced Game Masters and novices alike, this section is intended to help create the framework for an enjoyable experience.
The Narrator’s Guide is broken into three sections:
THE STORY
In Balance, the role playing adventures are meant to be viewed as Chapters within a larger Story, leveraging various narrative devices to move the adventure along. This section outlines how to set up a captivating Chapter for the Story.
CREATURES & NPCS
Like characters, creatures and other non-player characters (NPCs) in Isora have their own Stats and abilities. This section provides some samples, and provides a guideline for how to create your own.
ENCOUNTERS
Within every Chapter, there are encounters with non-player characters (NPCs), creatures, and challenges that require the characters to respond. Unlike Chapters, which have a specific structure with a beginning and an end, encounters are open-ended and unpredictable. This is where the players participate in creating the narrative, allowing their characters to come alive within the Story.
