RPGs are great at telling long-form stories, and great parties help make their stories stick with you for a long time. But how do you go about building a great party dynamic? It's more than any one character, more than the archetypes, more than the ships. It's about character dynamics and pacing and putting the jigsaw pieces together to create something more than the sum of its parts. Let's talk about some games that do a great job at building great RPG party chemistry, and a few medium-bad ones too.
