One of my favorite types of NPCs are the perfectly normal ones. There’s nothing more amusing (or even world-shattering) than having the PCs go through some indescribably encounter that forever alters their perception of reality, only to find themselves with some John or Jane Doe in a coffee shop discussing the half-court 3-point shot that the Jazz pulled off last weekend while Harry Connick Jr. drones on lazily in the background. Many of my past gamers (pre-7/13 days) would find themselves prefering an entense shoot-out scene rather than having to deal with the pains of the mundane. One reason for this is that most people game in order to escape such formalities, but from the eyes of the PC, it seems unfair that John or Jane will go to bed that night with no care in the world beyond bills.
But enough of that… I’m tired and dealing with heartburn (smoking + not eating = unhealthy…. write that down)
