Edward, Lord Hinton

Today I wrote up the creation of a sample character, Edward, Lord Hinton. Trivia mentioned not long ago that she wanted to make sure we had fewer plots in which the player/storyteller had his own character kidnapped and in need of rescue. Accordingly, I'll be making up some NPC hostages for just this reason; I really do think that players kidnap their own heroes more out of laziness than anything else. After all, you seldom have any NPCs on a MUX whom you have authority to kidnap, especially if you would like your heroes to have some personal connection to the victim. Kidnapping another PC, even one made to be kidnapped, is notoriously boring for the victim. Click on the title of this post to see Edward on a small pbwiki I made to hold my notes until a more robust version comes on board.

In other notes, I found an excellent biography of Doctor Nikola, master criminal, Bond-villain-prototype, and wielder of occult powers, which you can find HERE and my copy of Marcus Rowland's Forgotten Futures is acting up, but I hope he can get me through it.
