    This is too real.

    Also, if an NPC’s name is “uhhhhhh, Bob?”, he probably is not a meaningful part of the adventure.

      Uuuh… Jim once became the BBEG in a story arc I GMed in masks.

      I set myself the challenge that whoever the Bull character first selects as their rival will somehow be one of the main bosses of the first storyline.

      So they chose the random security guy named Jim who was tasked with watching the group during prep for a press event.

      So J.I.M. was born. Juggernaut infiltration Mercenary program made by some lex Luther type ceo to create super soldiers. And Jim was one of them gone rogue.

      It’s an adventure the group still remembers very fondly.

      I ask my players to provide names for NPCs. My Night City is filled with Steves and Daves.
