Matt V. comments on ep 300 Relying on NPC’s
I want to do a big write in soon, off some previous episodes, but it may be a few weeks still and wanted to get something in! Lots of GREAT episodes lately gentlemen.
So, two weeks is the final session of my Mutant Year Zero game. Right now the PCs and about 16 NPC’s are all travelling to the last area. They can use these NPC’s as characters, as its a tough dungeon.
To create pressure, early on they will run into a trap that will likely trap at least 5-8 of the PC’s & NPC’s in a prison on a lower floor. They have pretty close bonds with all these characters at this point.
Most every thing takes 4 hours in MYZ. If they decide to rest or build something I’m going to very animatedly and blatantly remove one captured character randomly from the pile! Or if they just take too long dicking around. I’m even debating on just ripping them up, as long as its not a PC….
I think that should work! I feel your recent episodes inspired me to come up with the idea. Hopefully it works.
Somethings get better with age…not saying you guys and the show are one of those things, just pointing it out
