<p>NPCs are all active agents that are not player characters. NPCs could be anything from merchants and quest givers, to monsters and bosses. They could also be ‘flavor’ - townsfolk doing their chores, farmers tending their fields - there to make the world feel “more alive”.</p>

<p>You should usually avoid creating hundreds of NPC objects to populate your ‘busy town’ - in a text game so many NPCs will just spam the screen and annoy your players. Since this is a text game, you can usually get away with using <em>vNPcs</em> - virtual NPCs. vNPCs are only described in text - a room could be described as a bustling street, farmers can be described shouting to each other. Using room descriptions for this works well, but the tutorial lesson about <a class="reference internal" href="Beginner-Tutorial-Rooms.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">EvAdventure Rooms</span></a> has a section called <a class="reference internal" href="Beginner-Tutorial-Rooms.html#adding-life-to-a-room"><span class="std std-doc">adding life to a room</span></a> that can be used for making vNPCs appear to do things in the background.</p>
