Sonia, the final test subject in Warped Beyond Recognition, embodies one of the core ideas of the module: losing the boundary between your self and the world around you. I wanted to leave each character description fairly minimal in the book itself: much of the beauty of RPG modules lies in the unique stories DMs and players create by bridging gaps in the the source material. And besides, succinctness and ease of use are almost always more important than deep lore, IMO.

But this is a “making of” post, so here’s a little background about how I thought about Sonia when I made Warped.
