As we approach the final weekend before the season opener, our wonderful Head of Plot and I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of best case scenario items to bring as an NPC.
"A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth....you can lie on it on the grassy...you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so brightly...use it to sail a miniraft down the vally's river...wet-it for use in hand-to-hand combat...wrap it around your head to avoid noxious fumes...you can waive your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems clean enough."

Each of the below items are not required, but recommended to ensure your best experience whilst walking the dark side. NPC's need to be the most versatile whilst Monster Desk is running them ragged, and these will help you stay sharp and comfortable.
