[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 353188, member: 371"] NPCs NPCs NPCs - create a card catolog of them USING descriptive adjectives! Steal them from TV, movies, books, history, whatever but use catch phases and mannerismes (sp)! News! There are a million stories in the naked city, yours should have at least a few new ones every game. Don't forget updates and follow ups! These are things like robberies, murder, fires, to common gossip from your local church/high school. Don't do all the work yourself! Give the players homework. They have to come up with the places their characters visit, be it a magic shop, tavern, so on. It only has to be a few hang outs. Locations! Let them players know of your cities landmarks. Have a few basic floorplans for taverns, shops, inns. Let the players decide on their own places to stay. Do they stay together or do they have their own places? Something I do is allowing PCs to pick people that are loyal to them, using their own friends/cohorts. Just limit the number. These wil be people that the PCs interact with during their adventures in the city! [/QUOTE]
