I have a "for instance..." question.
I have a backstory and an outline for a Dresden Files game. It includes an official NPC who appears both in the book series and in the RPG books. I'm trying to think what options I would have to include him if I create a realm for this and submit it to the content market.
I suppose I could include his name and his basic stats, and write up my own description for him in my own words. But I'm not sure I could do as good a job as has been done. It's easy for me to write up my own characters, but writing up someone else's characters, and getting the feel right, isn't always easy.
Or, I could include his name and basic stats and say "For a character description, see page x in book y of the Dresden Files RPG."
Or, I could write up a different character with a different name who would be the same type of character, but that would be a rather transparent cheat to people who know the books.
Would there be a preferred method for handling something like this?
