NPCs and Managing Expectations
-
As a friendly reminder, NPCs are not there to resolve or even play a significant role in player plots. I want to encourage players to go to players. I understand there is a need at times to have NPCs involved but they should rarely be a primary source of a conflict or resolution, especially while we continue to promote player agency.
There are many very cool ideas, plots, counterplots, intrigues and betrayals being proposed which is amazing. I want to get it out there that there are limits, mostly due to OOC that make it impractical for me to manage it for said player or idea. There are also IC limits but that will be represented ICly where it belongs.
Cheers and happy playing
