[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3045982, member: 22622"] Last night during game I handed a player a note containing some interesting character information about an NPC that was suggested in her background. After reading the note she said that the way the NPC was acting was not how she designed the NPC. This kinda irritated me.
