OtherRolls

OtherRolls is a term that can refer to several different concepts depending on the context, most commonly found within online role-playing communities and discussions about character creation. In its broadest sense, OtherRolls describes characters or concepts that are not the primary focus of a particular narrative, game, or player's interest. This can encompass a wide range of situations.

For instance, in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, "OtherRolls" might refer to characters controlled by the Game Master (GM) that are not significant NPCs. These could be minor background figures, temporary allies, or even enemies that exist solely to move the plot forward or provide a challenge. Players might also use the term to refer to characters they have created but are not currently playing, perhaps saved for a future campaign or as a backup.

In online role-playing forums or chat rooms, "OtherRolls" can denote characters that are secondary to the main protagonist or a player's primary character in a collaborative story. A player might have a main character who is the hero of a story, and then several "OtherRolls" who are supporting characters, antagonists, or simply characters exploring different facets of the fictional world. The term emphasizes a distinction between the central focus and peripheral elements within a role-playing context.
