After all, they are literally the only beings able to operate with some agency, and the game world is constructed as some sort of playground for their misadventures. However, if the Game Master has put even a modicum of effort into constructing that world, he\u2019s populated it with non-player characters. NPCs just trying to go through their day to day, completely oblivious to the player characters\u2019 struggles. As such, it\u2019s entirely likely that the player characters\u2019 actions are going to land them in the middle of situations having nothing to do with them.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here are five events completely outside of the PCs&#8217; influence which can be added\u00a0to your game.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2737\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2737\" style=\"width: 337px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mstyslavchernov.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2737 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/riot.jpg\" alt=\"riot\" width=\"337\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/riot.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/riot-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2737\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Licensed under Creative Commons by Mstyslav Chernov<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Riot<\/strong><br \/>\nLarge scale acts of civil disobedience, riots are often the result of a disenfranchised populace lashing out against some form of oppression. Or because a sports team lost. Or won.<\/p>\n<p>The thing about riots is that even though they\u2019re characterized by violence and vandalism, the majority of the participants are likely still good people. Just people who\u2019ve been pushed past a breaking point, or gotten swept up in the chaos and energy of the event. What are players likely to do when their characters suddenly land themselves in the middle of a seething mass of humanity?<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the rioters, there\u2019s also likely going to be some form of law enforcement on site, likely feeling the stress of the situation as well, and armed with all sorts of interesting less-lethal weapons \u2013 tear gas, beanbag guns, sound cannons \u2013 in addition to their regular armament.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2739\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2739\" style=\"width: 336px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/22882274@N04\/9234114888\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/holiday.jpg\" alt=\"holiday\" width=\"336\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/holiday.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/holiday-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Licensed under Creative Commons by Anthony Quintano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Holidays<\/strong><br \/>\nHolidays are great. They\u2019re a time when people come together in celebration. Some of them can also effectively shut down a population center.<\/p>\n<p>During the holidays people tend to cluster in large groups, while most businesses are closed. Even security on those closed businesses are likely to be lax. Likewise, emergency services are going to be stretched thin, as they\u2019ll be running short staffed. Holiday parties often lead to celebratory drinking, which can, unfortunately, result in poor decisions like an increased number of intoxicated drivers. Revealers might be going about in costume, even if it\u2019s just some holiday appropriate face paint.<\/p>\n<p>However, superheroes, paranormal investigators, or whatever role the player characters fill in your game world don\u2019t get days off. Perhaps a villain intends to take advantage of the holiday to launch their diabolical scheme, or taking time away from their regular activities would cause a trail to go cold. Or maybe, just maybe, it\u2019s time for the PCs to finally learn the true meaning of Arbor Day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2740\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2740\" style=\"width: 336px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geograph.org.uk\/profile\/4820\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/disaster.jpg\" alt=\"disaster\" width=\"336\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/disaster.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/disaster-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Licensed under Creative Commons by Gordon Hatton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>A Natural Disaster<\/strong><br \/>\nBlizzards, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. Mother Nature is not at all concerned with the player characters\u2019 plans.

Communities come together to offer aid and support to those in need. There\u2019s also looting and hoarding of resources.

People stay indoors to limit their contact with the sick, or to prevent further spreading the disease if they\u2019re already infected. People going outdoors might be wearing masks to limit infection vectors, but which have the side-effect of concealing their identity. The infected are going to be stigmatized, and might face discrimination or even violence. Conversely, people who remain uninfected might be viewed with suspicion. Basic services could slow down, or cease altogether as the people who perform those jobs become too sick to continue working. As paranoia spreads and fear sets in, people might look for someone or something to blame, including the government, or even doctors trying to help them.<\/p>\n<p>Quarantine could limit supplies coming into the infected \u201chot zone,\u201d making things like food and water a scarcity.
