PCs and NPCs

In Storygame, everyone is a player. There is no specially designated player to create and maintain the entire setting into which everyone else brings a single character. Every troupe member has equal rights and responsibilities to be a storyteller. The world is a collaborate creation that belongs to the troupe.

===Personal Characters (PCs) If a Storygame was a tv series, the personal characters are the leads and recurring support cast. They have names, avatars and character sheets. Each player has one or more personal characters who may or may not be in the same family or social circle. Each personal character has only one player, the person that created them.

Non-Personal Characters (NPCs)
The NPCs are the bit players, the extras, the walk-ons. They are essentially plot devices or window dressing to make a scene more interesting. At best they have a brief description, some dialogue, as part of a larger narrated post. Players don't need to make event rolls in order to decide the fate of NPCs unless they really want to and in that case, a mere HG-LB roll will suffice.
