RPGaDay2015 Part 2 (15-16)
15.

Random Nic Cage Characters
It’s an awkward situation and nobody likes to admit it, but sometimes when you’re making characters for a new game, you can’t help but thinking to yourself “this calls for Nic Cage.” The question then becomes “Which Nic Cage?” After all, Cage–like the universe itself–is infinite and ever-expanding. While we can’t help you determine whether…
