NPC journal?
I've had a request/suggestion for the coming week: a game-wide NPC journal, for characters that aren't around enough to merit a full character, but would be awesome to have for just one week/episode. I know this has been a possibility in the past, for main characters' family members and such, but it's always been handled between players (Michaela, Claire), or expanded into a full character (Diego, Marianne). Is this something you guys would be interested in?
This has come up because I've had someone request to play Cooper just for the week, so he wouldn't be considered a full character and thus wouldn't count towards character limits or waiting periods, and then he'd be available to everyone in ND, not just in my head for Blaine. Theoretically, an NPC journal could be set up with members-only access, so any of you could request the password and use it to puppet a guest star or family member or whatever, and then they could fade back after their usefulness has passed. The trick to this is that everyone would have to use the NPC journal responsibly -- no messing with settings, changing passwords, using it for anything other than short-term character interactions. I could rotate passwords each week, just so I know who has access at any given time, but any player would be welcome to request the password at any time for a plotline or an episode or whatever, and not have to worry about it taking up a character slot or needing to fill out a full application.
Thoughts, suggestions? This is just a rough idea of how such a thing could work, especially in terms of next week and a guest star who could potentially interact with everyone for just a very short time, but is there an interest in this for the rest of the season?
