>>>>>[ Okay, I tried this strain on rec.games.frp.misc a while
back and received little/no response. So I guess I shall
try it here. I want to compile a plethora of NPCS. How
can I best do this? I could spend several hours trying
to get my creative juices flowing, but then I would be
accused of creating villians specifically designed to
'get' my players. Instead, I have an idea. I don't know
about anyone else, but I keep my characters on my UNIX
account where I can update him easily and print him
out at my department's expense. How about anyone out
there who is interested, submit your character(s) to
me and I'll collect the whole batch. Then for anyone
who contribtutes, I'll send the whole collection to
you. Since I have recently discovered that at least
one of my players (hullo back Shockwave) now monitors
this group, I'd prefer that they be sent via email,
preferrably to the mentor account below. Please include
their stats, their unique items, their favorite weapons,
their preferred tactics, their contacts, their attitudes
and most importantly how the "streets" view them. For
instance, I know this one Ork Samurai, who finnally got
fed up with body-guarding a rock star. When this dracoform
finally showed up. He strapped on the HMG, and went after
it. He emptied a clip into it, only a fraction of a second
before the team rigger launched some high-speed missiles
at it. Turns out that word on the street is he did it
all by himself... well you get the picture. Okay,
you folks out there should be patient on this one, I want
to give folks some time to respond... well let'em
fly. Some of you folks are always braggin about what ya
have accomplished, let's see it!]<<<<<<
