Curt: moving from Staff PC to NPC
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:47 pm
Due to his changing role in plot, Curt Macabee is now an NPC. (Previously, he was a Staff PC.)
This means a few things:
- He'll be appearing more often in the story.
- Other Staff might play him if it's needed.
- If I ever step down, he'll remain an NPC and I won't play him as a regular character.
- He's under control of staff.
- He doesn't track XP like a PC.
More abstractly, it means that his actions will be guided more by the needs of plot than by the personality and goals of the character. Curt's now there more to drive plot for PCs and affect the world.
This is mostly in response to plot happenings of late. It makes more sense for him to serve as an NPC at this point. I don't have any plans to step down as Narrator any time soon. I just expect he'll be more directly involved in plot in the near future. In general, "Staff PCs" are characters we try to keep out of the plot while their player is on Staff.
At present, I don't have any Staff PCs. All my former PCs (The Dentist, Dive, and Curt Macabee) have been converted to NPCs.
Thanks!
Ted
