Hi everyone.

I'm currently running two SR3 games at the moment - one of them my "guardians" campaign, which is proceeding very slowly and intermittently at the moment due to pesky RL interfering with some of my players, and a "Pink Mohawk" drop in game, set in a diminished consequences version of Seattle.

For the Pink Mohawk game in particular, I've now got a raft of NPCs that the large stable of player characters interact with or have dealings with as targets for runs. I thought about posting descriptions of them here - but in a generic "this is the flavour of the NPC", rather than "here are my game stats" - mostly because with the former, it would be a lot more useful to any SR4/5 players (or other sci-fi RPGs) to use in their games, and it would also then not have stats that are inappropriate to higher / lower power level campaigns.

So - if I worked out a generic template to post in, to give a good overview of these NPCs - would it be something that other people would be interested in seeing? Would it be useful to others as emergency NPCs they could grab or base their own characters on for their own table? Would other people be happy to share their NPCs with the community in the same vein?

Oh, and likewise - I have Visio layouts for some bars / warehouses / factories etc - would be be interested in the same sort of thing for locations as for NPCs?
