> Additional Ideas on PC Cops

Do you mind if I add some of your text directly to the article? Especially
the mission ideas, if you don't mind. Yes, I'll put your name at the top
of the article too :)

You want the players to behave like the Night Watch? :) It might be a good
analogy, though...

(For non-Pratchett-addicts, the Night Watch in Men At Arms "'needs MEN'
But what it's /got/ includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf),
Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a
troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman...most of the time) and Corporal
Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving)."
