[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8062791, member: 27385"] I have some semi-random stand-bys such as; out of town for business, unavailable to meet until tomorrow, dealing with customers- please have a seat, and if I need to move the game - please come in- we have been waiting for you. It may seem that some NPCs are always the same like the innkeeper. He may be always be solid and the players will come to expect the same. When one day he is not, the players will clue in and ask questions. This can lead to something simple like having marriage problems to shortage of goods, or blackmail from a competitor. [/QUOTE]
