[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 3623609, member: 2673"] Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are NPCs around if there's a reason for them to be around, but normally no they don't travel with an entourage. I mean if they're in town sure but the middle of some conflict? Probably not. In general there's only an NPC travelling with the group for a story or character development reason. If that reason no longer applies, I generally can't resist killing them off to make for some drama. :) And yeah, I've done the whole 'think of a reason for the new guy to join the party'. It was an interesting GM challenge the first 30 or 40 times. I've spent plenty of time as a 'kill em all' GM, and did not like the net results. I'm also not too interested in punishing a player for their character dying, or them wanting to change characters. I want everyone to be playing the character they really want to play. [/QUOTE]
