New page

The NPC team have a range of abilities and preferences, but as a rule we try to avoid “postie” roles whose sole job is to hand over a prop or conjunction information. It’s entirely acceptable to have NPCs do these things, but try to give them a personality and agenda to bring to life.

Beth Charlton is the person to ask any NPC-specific questions, best contactable on facebook and in the “Empire NPC Crew” group.

The NPC team can cast and kit themselves in your absence, but it’s good practice to be around to answer questions. If you need someone with a specific skill or availability (eg. happy to be covered in fake blood, or free at midnight on Saturday) you can look for people before the event in the Empire NPC Crew facebook group. We try not to over-rely on pre-casting like this, as not every NPC is on facebook.

6-8pm on Friday, and 2-6pm on Saturday have often been really busy times for NPC. These are often just the best times for plots to go out (too early and lots of people are on the battle, too late and lots of people are drunk, etc) but be careful about asking for lots of roles during these times.
