[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1303882, member: 812"] Heck without death, what kinda plot do you have, anyway? I mean, who wants to venture through the [i]Maternity Ward of Horrors[/i]? Darkness -- most of my campaigns end in miserable failure and recriminations, for so many reasons. Excessive NPC love is just one of them. No, seriously, Barsoom nearly derailed when Yuek Man Chong, the Demon Goddess, roared onto the scene and utterly infatuated me. Carefully constructed plots, organizations and other NPCs got dragged into her wild, melodramatic epic -- none of which I had any inkling of before it happened. Literally, it was as though this real person (this real, selfish, petulant and demanding person) stormed into my campaign and turned everything upside down. I had to kill her. It broke my heart but there was nothing else for it. She got a big, BIG melodramatic death full of pathos and gore and torture and horror and nobility of spirit... Sigh. I miss my Demon Goddess. But yeah, it happens to me all the time. It's usually the girls, too. I'm a sucker for an imaginary pretty face... :D [/QUOTE]
