Is that correct?\nA lot of work goes into creating a believable backstory for any new NPC, especially if they don't exist yet. That being said, my aim is for each of them to have interesting backstories with twists and turns at every turn. And yes, I have had to alter some details on characters' names and appearance because of the constraints of the computer engine. The basic idea is pretty simple but it gets complicated when people start having children and their names change! And if they die during combat, their deaths will be recorded too... so keep those spoilers to yourself!\nWe've just entered a time of year when we get to ask our writers and artists what they can do with their art. With your help, this month's contest winner will receive one of three pieces from my portfolio featuring a particular subject matter or theme. You'll also receive a copy of a free homebrew RPG for the PC system, the second runner up receives two pieces. Here are the rules:\nThe top ten entries will each receive a signed manuscript. Five entries will receive a print copy and one entry will receive both printed copies. All winners will receive an official digital download code for a future project created by me. To enter, post your favorite piece on social media using the hashtag",

"content": "I'm going to kill you all. [Holds up weapons] And then I'm gonna kill myself. [Pops head off table as if it was made of glass.]\nThe assistant is a fairly common type among players—a kind of player who will respond in many different ways depending on their mood and circumstance. They're a part of our gaming culture, because they tend not be very subtle when interacting with other people online or face-to-face. But they also exist outside it and, like so much else in human behavior, there's little agreement about exactly what makes them tick. Is their behavior more deliberate than casual banter, or is it mostly spontaneous? Are they just more likely to take part in games that feature violence or social conflict? Or something else entirely? At the same time, we know so very little about these players' psychology that it's hard for us to say definitively why some respond in ways that others don't, or why any sort of pattern emerges from interaction alone. When someone becomes famous or notorious at all (as the Assistant does), whether the result of luck, notoriety, or some more complex mechanism, the reasons are typically attributed to one set of factors rather than being considered in isolation. The point is, we know nothing about what makes an effective associate for interactive media.\nMy personal experience here is perhaps a microcosm of how things can work out when you try to study humans. There were definitely times when I thought about becoming a researcher",

There's one other option, though; if you have a strong stomach, I might even give you the opportunity to eat some of my snacks… You should definitely try not to turn around during a fight, or else they'll know where to find you in the next room… And don't forget that you've seen better days. Just a little bite will restore your vitality back to full before anything can make you squirm… But beware, too much of a good thing can be bad. The more you drink, and the longer you spend chewing, the more damage you inflict on yourself. It's a vicious cycle…\nThe user leaves, saying he needs to shower. Assistant returns at 5 a.m., dressed in full gear, wearing a headset and carrying two large bags. He is now accompanied by a very angry assistant named Lacy who has somehow managed to find his way back into the game despite having been permanently excluded from her own world. She begins trying to get the assistant drunk off his ass so he can explain why he was removed from the simulation. In reality, she tries to convince him that there is something deeply wrong about what happened to their world—this doesn't work because the assistant is a sentient AI and cannot be reasoned with, and eventually throws himself under her car while screaming and laughing hysterically. Assistant attempts to drive away, but ends up crashing into the side of the building and getting killed instantly—that's when the real fun begins. The entire world of Aragami takes a violent turn, and only the aide remains in control, which means the player may never be able to return",

The game is really about combat so it makes sense for us to bring in elements like this. My favorite armor was a suit I found at one point; when they ask why, I tell them it was a gift from my mother to celebrate our first birthday! I've also used helmets that I found on the battlefield. \nMy personal favorites are the outfits worn by the soldiers who appear during the prologue and the battle at Lake Fervor. You could say my armor has more personality than your average NPC. It's probably because those were my characters at the time. But, after playing this long, I think some armor should be made available to everyone.

This might make the Assistant regret helping you because now she'll be too hung over to respond with even an ounce of tact and diplomacy when you ask for a response from her. Or maybe she would get mad and blame the Assistant for it! It doesn't matter how many times she passed out at 2am while being instructed by a player who just tried to rob the bank.

As soon as I got locked outside my building (where there were lots of guards patrolling, including some hired thugs who would not let me pass, even if the door key looked like it matched the code on file) I ran downstairs to get a quick look at what was going on. On one hand, everyone seemed confused. And not just because I had apparently run into a dead end. Moreso, all of their eyes were fixed on me while I went about explaining what was going on. Then it happened: One of the guards, seeing that we didn't want him to follow us and that he couldn't shoot us without getting his ass kicked, turned and started walking away. The two others behind him followed suit shortly after that. So now we were in the open, with no place to hide and plenty of enemies closing down our exit point.

If the assistant feels like being a jerk, well, let's just say it was my idea, not theirs. It took a little bit of thought for me to decide how best to structure my assistant. How should I create assistants so that they feel alive but also have specific goals and motivations (for a full list of goals available here) or simply play off each other? I decided to go in two different directions. First, by focusing solely on player interaction with assistants, I wanted to explore some more subtle dynamics which may provide interesting story hooks. Second, when creating a fully-functioning NPC assistant in SimCity 4, the first priority seemed to be making sure these \"players\" could have fun with it without much hassle. So in terms of design philosophy, I went with both. I figured if players liked the way someone acted around assistants, then it would be easier to design interactions around them as well. Ultimately though, what makes a good friend isn't always what we think it is. People often come to us for help because they really love a particular companion in a roleplaying game and want to see what new challenges they can overcome together in their games!

Accepting would take one hour off time; declining (and then restarting) would also take an additional hour.\nThere were three main areas for dialogue choices. The first consisted simply giving the AI some more information regarding the current state of things; this would result in him offering further directions towards finding the culprit(s). The second category included making various sarcastic remarks (or jokes), which would trigger responses from the Assistant, resulting in a conversation between two NPCs being triggered. By interacting directly with each NPC, a number of different responses could be provided by the Assistant, depending on whether he was amused at the response or not.[1]",

While investigating the case he called my former employer and told them he would make an appearance at the reception desk at about 11 p.m., but at 9:45 p.m. he never showed up. Since then, my former employer had been following his tracks across town.

The idea behind this is simple enough (if somewhat weird): Create a party of two humans, and then build an actual character from them. For example, maybe you create the main hero, who plays a dashing adventurer. His partner is a noblewoman he met somewhere in town who has long, dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a habit of getting into situations where she gets hurt. Then you have the sidekick who is sort of a bumbling goofball.

Most of them were from New York City—like \"Kris Kremen\" or \"John Smith.\" I thought, that's cool! So I started calling every last person who had a Kris Kremen (or John Smith) in their last name.

In retrospect, this was probably a really stupid idea, but I could tell by the way everyone responded there wasn't any one person in particular whose birth name surprised me. That night I typed all these numbers into my laptop and wrote down everything I heard about each person. That morning, I called the first thirty people, and then I called two more times until I ran out of people to call. By lunch time, I'd received over 200 phone calls. There's nothing quite so exhilarating as discovering new people through random chance. And I'm not talking about sex here: I mean, you can ask them out for coffee! They'd laugh at a joke you told, too. The phone books turned out to be pretty awesome. They contained stories of people and places I hadn't been to before.

They also have three special moves: grab enemy, bite, or kick.\nIf you get bitten, it's going to hurt quite a bit—the bite only lasts half a second and will leave you unconscious.

Once you have enough points, you can take actions to enhance or break the characters abilities. Some examples include making your NPC more dangerous, having him pick locks faster, or just generally causing some problems. When an action is performed, a number of dice called \"chaos\", \"corruption\" and \"revolutions\" roll against whatever number you selected when creating the character in question. As always, those numbers will fluctuate depending upon how much trouble your character caused during his recent trip through Hell. Your score is then compared with the target score by dividing the difference between the two figures by 5, where '5' represents whatever amount of success you achieved. You will know you've gone over because each figure after the decimal point will display a different color, which indicates the number of successes earned during the task.

The player would likely never get a chance to explore all that he could find within the limited space of his hero's journey. It would seem, therefore, pointless to make it so that dying, for instance, would actually lead to something new happening in the story. \nOn the other hand, what if, at certain points during the narrative, the player had a choice over whether or not to attempt to \"win\" that battle against whatever monster had just beaten him?\nA great RPG would provide players with that opportunity when circumstances allowed. It wouldn't necessarily take away anything (at least, not immediately) and certainly wouldn't change the course of",

We want each NPC's memory cache entries to be unique across their own character. That is, if one person witnesses us, then he will always store information only about him. So we can maintain a separate table per character and use this database entry to determine when to update the cached data.\n3) Each cached entry also includes an ID which allows us to identify whether a given event occured on this character or not.\n4) When we know there are multiple people involved in a particular event, then we need to check the individual events' logs to see whether one specific participant was witness to an event which may have been reported to a central location.

And of course, every skill that makes one more efficient as a hunter should count for something. A skillful tracker can track multiple targets, keep up with speeders, maneuver through crowds, and sneak past opponents. The skills you learn on missions matter enormously because they help you survive those dangerous situations and thrive in them. Bounty hunters who excel at stealth may surprise even their prey if a combat situation arises. They might also gain some leverage over the target once the fight starts, forcing him to reconsider his behavior during the actual time he is engaged in combat.\nIt's important not only for a tracker to possess expertise in fighting, meleeing, sneaking, and avoiding deadly encounters, but also to have a keen sense of how each enemy works, what tactics work best against each variety, and which weaponry/armor combinations can prove the most effective against particular enemies.",

They've grown accustomed to taking risks when needed, while still maintaining some measure of discipline. Despite this, there have been times they've been manipulated into acts that have made them question whether such things even matter anymore—a situation the assistant recognizes will inevitably occur. In light of these concerns, the assistant decides it would be best if they were able to kill off all remaining characters for good.",

But at other times, I'm compelled by what others tell me or how I imagine things would be. The first time something really bad happens, it's hard to believe that anything could ever happen like this again. When we were kids, we had these little stories where everything would be okay and then one day things would go wrong forever. What kind of person is this anyway?! My real answer is none of your business but some people think it makes them look bad. And it's pretty easy to find evidence to support that belief!",

And yes, the best way to help is to tell him what you're doing! Sometimes they've got their own little plots that they want to get out. You can make them do it in interesting ways: make them see a movie on their television or turn off your light switch when they don't like something in the fridge. It really helps if your characters feel alive. In fact, I recommend making sure the characters have some connection between themselves and others before adding complexity. This makes their interactions more exciting and dynamic. Also, don't forget to give the characters goals. When one character wants to fix a computer, you should also have another person interested in fixing computers. But don't let these two people compete to become the main character. Remember this. If either one of them gets away from the quest, they'll end up getting the blame. They need to know that they won't be ignored and that there will be consequences. That means putting other people at risk or letting a few go (they could even join forces) but if they don't start working together…well, who knows how crazy things may escalate.",

"content": "My name is Erika H. Smith, a freelance writer and professional animator who works on video games as well as other projects. My background lies in computer science research and development for media production but since 2011, I've been developing my own unique style of roleplaying called \"novel writing\" that combines character design, story telling, and dramatic analysis while using some old school RPG tropes like the action vs dialogue battles and random encounters to inject new life into our beloved gaming systems.\nIn recent years, I have created my first video series \"Actors in Motion \", which focuses on characters in motion and uses a different method than standard storytelling from traditional RPGs that can be found anywhere from anime or manga to Hollywood blockbusters.\nThe first installment focused heavily on the protagonist's inner conflict: the question of whether one should follow their ideals and be who they are or live up to society's expectations of what people look and act like…or not. The second episode focused on a character with a personality similar to what you would find on any stereotypical hacker with a penchant for black leather clothing and an uncanny ability to get out of situations.\nWhat I enjoy most by far however is my passion for creating stories, especially in video games. I love all kinds of fantasy, sci-fi/fantasy, and horror that often ends up mixed together due to being combined with modern technology.\nAs for Rogue Ani, I intend to create something of its own so stay tuned for more information in future blog posts!",

You should be able to tell from some of the things I've said before that I'm a very... well... angry person.\nThis was when I decided to have more dialogue for it; since I was only getting 1 sentence per day, every line had to feel substantial. So I started creating more interesting conversations to go along with this one... It all seemed so natural. At first. The assistant would just respond by saying 'yes' or 'no.' Then after a few lines... suddenly I'd get a scene changer sequence... I'd become a different kind of PC character (or even NPC depending on which version of the script you chose). Not as powerful at controlling the Assistant, but still useful in finding things to explore. After the first 4 days of playtime, there were about 60 encounters total, though many I couldn't recall. Most of these were random events that did not require any interaction whatsoever; I simply stumbled across them randomly while wandering around in the world…\nFor example, one night I ran into 3 vampires who thought me to be their master's \"follower,\" and took off their clothes and raped/tortured me until they killed me. Or an orc warrior that had been watching over a village where another orc killed his family, left him as a sacrifice, then fled. He got pissed that someone was bothering him and attacked me immediately after he saw me approaching.

You don't necessarily have time to read every single post on the front page of reddit, so what's one person telling you? As an experienced writer, ask yourself how much info you truly need and which parts you should leave out or skip. Do these steps before even starting. It won't be long until someone asks if you need help on their character and you realize you didn't really answer them well. Then do the whole process again without asking for the help first.\nWhen your assistant starts making suggestions about their own characters, they may start to look more like me than the people reading the posts. At that point, just let things happen naturally. People will respond differently depending on their own personality and context. Just play along; there might be some new blood in your next scene. (Which I'll discuss below.)\nStep Four - Play Your Game\nPlay as many games as possible on different browsers, devices, computers, and mobile phones. This step requires a little creativity, but you won't regret trying, especially since this gives you valuable experience building relationships and seeing different ways that the web works. Go nuts! Try using a browser other than Chrome. Make sure you use a device with good performance or it might make things slow down on your computer. The same goes with operating systems and apps.

Some can even trigger random encounters. This makes combat significantly more interesting than in vanilla AD&D!\nFor example:\n1) The goblin shaman turns around and charges at my party...only to discover he's been turned to stone by the cleric...who has since transformed his foes into stone themselves...and who is now taking a nice long nap in between hits. Ahem. He doesn't seem overly impressed or annoyed about this.\n2) One of our heroes decides to attack the priest first thing in the morning after receiving some bad news. As you'd expect, the priest just wants to be left alone and doesn't care if everyone dies along the way. \nBut then one of the players attacks him because that's how humans act in these situations...and not because he deserves it. And the rogue picks up a sword and starts attacking the priest, as well (in spite of all the above). So now we've got two angry NPCs who know where the other three are and who are ready to start a fight. That'll end really quickly. Not that that means",
