Characters, improvisation, and ...

Warning: this page is stale and many pages it cites have moved or disappeared from the web. Don't be fooled by the "freshness date" at the bottom of the page: while a few new links have been added, the majority are from 1998 or before. Proceed at your own risk.

I'm not really sure what this page is about. I'm using it to collect references to autonomous characters that can improvise and react to their environment. The categories below are fairly arbitrary and overlap quite a bit. Items are listed in no particular order, other than new items have been added at the end of each section. Someday this will all be reorganized...
