Description:

Adventurers are a motley bunch. An old fantasy gaming chestnut and a tired cliché is to bring PCs together through greed or circumstance at an anonymous inn. There are many other reasons why PCs might get together beyond a common threat; these structured groups work together with a wide variety of skills and lend themselves to adventuring parties.

Each of the troupes below consists of a variety of roles, defined as either Profession or Craft skills. Dungeon Masters can use these adventuring troupes as jumping off points for character interaction. Each troupe type provides a rationale to begin a party and explains how they make a living when not adventuring.
