It doesn't hit me much because as far as I'm concerned, these NPC's simply don't exist until/unless they appear in my actual game. The focus is on the PC's, and maybe there's other stuff going on and if you want Elminster to handle the adventure for you, go ask him to handle it, and we'll make an adventure out of you trying to get a Deus Ex Machina. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'm not a real fan of the Realms, but it's not annoying enough for me to get a good head of steam hating on. It's Generic Wish Fulfillment World, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just not very interesting to me.</blockquote>
