This is Carol, posting from the brand spanking new NPC journal.
This is a concept that is used in another game I play in and it works really brilliantly. I posted about the basic concept in the journal if you want to read up and perhaps use this in the game. I plan on adding my own npcs later (but I really have to get back to studying for criminal justice).
To get the password and begin using the journal, you have to friend it (the password is in the flocked second post).
I plan on spiffying up the journal layout later as well, at the moment it's just basic and working.
