MAKE CHARACTERS? YOU'LL WANT THIS.
Character-making is arguably the most interesting, most important, yet most difficult part of making stories. When characters are well-defined, the story unfolds, seemingly by itself, before our very eyes. But when characters are not well-developed, they tend to look unrealistic and very two-dimensional. The Talecraft Character Builder is a specially designed notebook that helps users come up with characters with depth, direction and growth. Visit the Talecraft booth at the 8th Philippine Toycon on June 13-14, 2009 at the SM Megatrade Hall 2 & 3. After the adventure and the wanderings, after the climax and the twists, after the final battle and the happily ever after, it is the characters that stay with us long after the book is closed.
Stuck? Try the Online Talecraft Character Builder to come up with some interesting characters.
