I can't recall if this was in a Dungeon or Dragon (thus a large portion of my problem) or the exact name of the article.
The article I'm searching for was all about running a social event (like a ball or party or something). It gave a lot of good advice about having NPCs take different roles (like some would be a hindrance to the PCs in their goals, some would be aids, some would just be red herrings, etc) and how to set up an overall "goal" of the party or ball itself.
I don't recall the name of the article, but I do remember that it was definitely during the 4e era (not that it had edition-specific rules, it was more of an overall primer IIRC) and was during the time when both Dragon and Dungeon were online and part of the DDI subscription.
Anyway, please help me find this article (just what magazine and number is fine) and thank you very much in advance!
