Just another little post to mention that players are free to make NPC-type characters to attend the Paris event and the Trial--most player characters will not be allowed to be present, unless they are directly involved somehow with the subplots.

Several players have made NPCs in advance. Those making them just before the events will have to make the most basic of characters and be ported to the correct locations.

For Paris, the NPCs will generally be Muggles attending a fashion show. There are already several runway models and a rock star audience member. For the Trial, NPCs will generally be members of the Wizengamot--the high court in the British Wizarding world located at the Ministry of Magic.

A big thank-you to all the Player NPCs from Paris. You did such a great job with that, and it was very enjoyable to see. The scenario went very nicely for our player characters. Even though it didn't turn out quite as expected (they rarely do), it accomplished what we wanted for our PCs terrifically.

((* In the dressing room, when everyone was all like "Holy crap! What happened?" after Priggo left with Gabi, she passed out due to an excess of drinks during the runway show, and when someone kicked her lightly to wake her up, she puked on herself, according to eye-witness reports.))

Another big thank-you to our Player NPCs on the Wizengamot! That trial was really quite cool, and although our players had to do quite a bit of waiting during the deliberations, I think they will agree with me that that was a really fun event.
