The Critical Mass of NPCs

Playing old style RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons really was far more useful than anyone could guess at the time. And the almost 40 years we have had of computerised “RPGs” have now conclusively proven the benefits of the old style pen and paper, in-person games around your living room table, are in no way similar or even remotely close to any benefit of playing online versions.

The difference, of course, is due to the old style RPGs being an activity that stimulates and therefore develops the imagination. It literally improves your ability to think. Across the board. You improve your interpersonal skills by relating to other human beings face to face and in real time while also having to imagine (and describe) scenarios and situations presented to you and your reaction to them as a player character (which may have quite a different outlook than you as a real person do). Such activity promotes neural connections that would normally not be achieved in anything close to the same duration of time.

You also need to improve your generic reading comprehension as well as writing (if you create scenarios), and elementary mathematics as well as concepts such as economies of scale, troop movements, and depending on the game the math can be quite advanced. We knew how to do gravity assisted slingshot calculations by age 15 or so because it was a way to ensure your scout ship with damaged drives could still refuel and escape the gravity well of the gas giant before hyperspace jumping out of imperial hunters’ range.

This is why I created STCZA, both in paper format on Amazon or cheaper PDF you can print yourself.

But my point here is another.

In any large scale campaign with a good referee and decent players, you sometimes have to deal with the inevitable horde.

It can be a horde of orcs, or a horde of irate NPCs out for your party’s blood, or any other number of situations where a force composed of not particularly effective, strong, or intelligent creatures mass together in such numbers that regardless of how powerful, smart and efficient your party is, it has to give way or be overrun.

In our case, the real world here on Earth in 2025, the situation is not really different from a very large campaign world where different player characters and their respective groups, can play at various levels of difficulty whilst facing the situations posed to them.

In broad terms, we live on a planet that is run by an extremely evil and somewhat balkanised oligarchy. Some tiny pockets of resistance, goodness and genuine player characters trying their best to safeguard what they can also exist; but… as in all epic films, they are very much the underdogs.

It’s not exactly that the evil overlords are so numerous or even effective or intelligent per se.

It’s rather the way things are.

The pedovores in charge, are a class of vampiric creature with a penchant for raping, torturing and eating children. While this is generally known amongst the Player Characters (PCs) of Earth, it is mostly unknown by the largest swathes of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and even assiduously denied by the boomer generation. Furthermore, the pedovores have a stranglehold on global news and entertainment as well as politics of every balkanised nation. They do this by a combination of applied brute force, deception, constant propaganda and having a monopoly on the very creation of the medium of exchange, which they then dole out to their lackeys.

The NPCs are mostly divided into three categories:

The puppets – they run governments, pretend to be famous entertainers of great talent and great and wise scientists of importance. They do the bidding of the pedovores on pain of death or similar, exposure as vicious pedophiles, total financial ruin and so on.

The bought – these guys basically do the bidding of the pedovores secondary roles for the concessions of having more money, protected lives and generally living far better than most. As long as they keep the wheels of the satanic machinery turning without asking questions. A few may even think they are just good guys in good jobs. But these might be the few brain damaged ones.

Standard NPCs – Oblivious to most of reality that does not immediately impact them directly, the sheer number of these, and the ease with which they are directed, means that they are effectively the equivalent of an unthinking zombie horde.

Now, as a PC, what would you think is the smart play?

Think on it a second.

The answer should be relatively obvious.

Consolidate (create hardcore communities of PCs with great and varied skills and abilities, but all focused on resisting and eventually defeating the enemy).

Reclaim Power (This applies mostly to grass roots political movements that range from the PTA, to the HOA to the local council, local police station, university posts and so on. Take them over, don’t give an inch and get like-minded people in next to you as they did for the last 70 years, then push back on all their nonsensical bureaucracy, lies, transgenderism, DIE false ideology, godlessness, etcetera, etcetera. In the second stage it also means the ability to hold on to whatever community you have built by the use of force, because sooner or later, the pedovores will want to take you out)

Rebuild (This means everything that leads to total self-sufficiency and self-protection)

So: what are YOU doing to build a community of zealots?

In the interim, somewhere along the line, this will also likely mean to direct the zombie hordes in directions that in the end do serve them best, but in some way, leading always involves directing large numbers of NPCs. Not in a self-serving way, it needs to be highlighted. And leaders who truly serve the people’s needs only end up in one of two ways: lionised at best for a bit, and often crucified for it sooner or later. In no case is such leading the fruit of democracy though. It is always, inevitably, far closer to a benign dictatorship. And in that respect, you should not be fooled into thinking Trump is anything akin to that. He is part of the same Cabal, just the other side of the coin.

How can we know? Look at his comments concerning the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    Just finished Nazi Moon. Thoroughly enjoyed it thanks for your efforts. Please sir can we have some more! Posted a review on Amazon this morning should be up soon.

      Thank you! If you could also write a review at my digital ebook store that would be great. A copy and paste would be fine, no need to rewrite it. It’s just that some prefer the cheaper digital option but as that is my site it does not have the same number of reviews that Amazon has.
      And if you like that omnibus… i will eventually write three more books in that series and hopefully I will do so a LOT faster than these three. But you might also enjoy my dark/humour/fantasy two I have out (in the shadow of monte castello and in the shadow of Monte bianco)
