I tend to use chips for more dramatic moments.  I try to let the flow of the
story guide me.  I've had crappy NPC's end up being major players cause that
how the tumbleweed tumbled.   Now, I also have to admit i'm not much for
Fully developed storylines.  I play with a bunch of people who are too
bloody inteligent for their own good.  (ex specialforces dude that knows 100
ways to blow up your kitchen sink without goign to the store first, for
example).  I tend to use story outlines and story trees more than full
development, and play the rest by the seat of my pants.

'Course, I'm also currently without a group, so take that as you will.  : )
(they all ended up moving or in anycase losing the free time they had been
spending on games)
