With all this talk of Npc Maitnence, I feel that I must contribute.
As the only person who runs Shadowrun for my little circle of devotee's I
find I must fall back on the old tried and true method of coming up with
new NPC, I let the players do all the dirty work!
Any Character that is killed, Retires without sanction, or heads for the
hills never to be heard from again gets the official title of (insert drum
roll here) GOD'S Cannon Fodder!
I just rename them, tweak their skills and so on. (My puppets I mean
Players swear that I tack 30 Karma points on as well.) and after the game,
I secretly assign Karma points to these NPC and up skills etc, usually
chortleing with glee. After 8 glorious years of playing God, I have quite
a collection amassed. Lately, however, I have noticed that all my players
are wearing lighters around their necks, are they on to Me? :}
