[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7114889, member: 6816692"] Another advice that helps both players and DM: Have someone make a list of NPC which includes a brief description of each. This way you can easily look at the NPC through the eyes of your players AND your players end up with a useful database should a NPC reappear after a while. My own group is somewhere in the 1st or 2nd third of adventure 3 and we already have more than 80 NPC on this list. And I don't even bother putting every little errand boy up there. Ha! I'm still wondering if my DM's translated version of my messy german recaps make any sense to a native speaker :D But yes, have some player write them. While I "only" DM for WotBS, the workload to prep all the NPC and plotlines take a lot of time. Especially as players don't always do what you expect and... things can get complicated in such a beautifully interwoven campaign. I can only guess that it might be worse in Zeitgeist. [/QUOTE]
