If you think of plot as something that happens to PCs, your world will not come alive, even with good NPCs because they will still be something that is there just to interact with PCs, not something that has objective existence even if the players are not looking.What you say about NPCs is a general advice for any DM, whether they are running sandbox campaign or not: PLAY THE NPCs. Its a roleplaying game and you (as a DM) play the role of NPCs, just like players play their roles. If you are not reactive with NPCs then you are not doing half of your job.</blockquote>
