5 Wildcard Characters To Add Chaos To Any D&D Campaign

Experienced Dungeons & Dragons groups often attempt to spice up new campaigns with innovative storytelling techniques, and adding one or more wildcard characters is a great tool for DMs. If a DM has run prior games for the same group of players, even the most skilled storyteller can become predictable. Players may anticipate plot twists and themes well in advance, due to familiarity. While the players themselves always bring surprises to a campaign, true wildcard NPCs can ensure that every DnD participant is engaged and excited for where the campaign might go. For groups ready for an advanced approach to tabletop RPGs, a wildcard is an ideal addition.
