Re: [DL] Playing the Bad Guys...

Being involved in the leading of a LARP of Camarilla
(VtM), I can tell you, that it is best to use the same
people for your "extras". Asking normal PC's to play
reappearing NPC's, is not a good idea. You have to
fill 'em in on a part of the plot-line, and when they
grow tired of their NPC and start playing a PC again,
it's really hard for them not to go look into the
things the player knows, but the character isn't
supposed to know.

That being said, I guess this would be kind of a
one-off thing, so I don't see any problems there !

Dark "No remarks on blood-sucking this time guys !
That's OT, and there seem to have been enough problems
with that lately !!!" Man
