Good thing I didn't tell them the number yet. I understand that it's crazy weird. But, I figured that if there were any chance of me finding someone who would do this, s/he'd be on ENWorld  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Of course, I forgot to mention the story of the NPC and where the number comes from. Once I explain that, I'm sure the number of bites will drop to 0. The fallen comrade is a PC named Agent Mathew Kellner, played by a guy who left the group to study abroad. The PC is a far right wing conservative working for the CIA. He played the character really, really well, and the player was a blast to have in the group. One aspect of his character that never came to light, however, was the fact that he was gay. The player had this planned out from character creation, because he liked the notion of Kellner wrestling with his sexuality. Yet Kellner had such a gruff, caustic exterior that him having any kind of love life was beyond the PCs' conception of him, let alone one opposed to his religious views. So, none of the players ever figured this out, as it never came up.Now Kellner is dead, but I'd like the players to still find this added dimension to the character. In his wallet they have found a phone number, which is simply the number of a man that Kellner went on a few dates with recently. If asked, the NPC will probably need to give the PCs Kellner's address, as they'll then use it as a hideout if they pass through Langley. But the main point is "Kellner was even more dynamic than he seemed."So, yes, I'm requesting you to give me your Virginia-specific phone number, so that you can talk to my players while pretending to be the homosexual lover of a CIA agent. One of the more creepy requests I could have made, I know  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Given that the nature of the NPC plays on so many hot-button topics, I'm dubious about my chances of getting any volunteers.Disclaimer: No part of this message is an endorsement or criticism of any religion, conservative political views, sex, any sexuality, the CIA, or Virginia.</blockquote>
