I've noticed a fair amount of discussion on GM style, primarily preplanned vs. freeform stuff. However, another aspect of GMing I find can make or break a campaign-reoccurring NPCs. There a fairly common staple to RPGs, that can have quite an affect on how the players view the game. I've run games where a particular reoccurring character has greatly added to the players' enjoyment, and have experienced occasions where the players can't stand an NPC to the point of ruining the game.
So what do you notice about GM's with good NPCs? How about bad ones? Have any stories of excellent or horrible NPCs? |
