[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5375728, member: 18253"] Err... yes... frequent changes of focus will make it hard to develop persistent NPCs. Kind of goes with the frequent change concept. You can introduce some NPCs that "move with the players" like a Gandalf who follows the party and offers advice or some other migrants like gypsies, merchants, even folks associated with the local government who might have cause to act regionally. You can also introduce organizations that span the region so that while the particular office-head might change from city to city, the oranization itself provides some continuity. Also, you could introduce some 'telephonic' magic that allows an NPC to communicate over a distance. But in the end, if the campaign is focused on travelling to different places, embrace it and enjoy the new places and NPCs. Not so different from Tolkien, both [I]The Hobbit[/I] and [I]LOTR[/I] where much of the novels are travelogue-ish where the characters travel to new places and meet new people. [/QUOTE]
