Why not start with  giving a little more character to your characters! It gets tired and  stale when characters just ‘say’ things all the time, when they’re  ‘friendly’ or ‘hostile’ instead of being ‘an adoring fan’ or ‘concerned  and suspicious’. This is where <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/215532/Conversation-Cards" target="_blank">Conversation Cards come in</a>! These printable cards give  characters new ways to ‘say’ things, from ‘chirping’ to ‘stammering’ to  ‘threatening’. But they aren’t just pages out of a thesaurus – each card  contains a host of other cues for you to use in play. The first cue is a card’s attitude. Each conversation card has one of  three attitudes: passive, submissive and aggressive. These attitudes  represent a character’s overall position on a topic; whether they are  helpful, neutral, or hostile to it. Each attitude is further broken down  into three levels of emphasis: subtle, casual and overt. These levels  of emphasis help set the pace of the conversation, with some speeding  action up and others slowing it down. Game masters can either assemble decks ahead of time for important  characters that the party might meet, or draw randomly from the full  deck of 27 cards when they begin a conversation with someone new. A more  complicated character might draw two or more cards, and an evolving  conversation might result in changing what card a character is using as  their cue. These cards can serve as a great playing aid for players, too –  giving them cues for how their characters might react in different  situations – or even just providing them with a list of new words to  make use of the next time they get into a social encounter.</blockquote>
