madcat82 Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I am making a list of famous people that my players could meet and interact with in adventure, and I thought that I could come here to get suggestions.To submit one, it is only to post one in this forum. When we have a nice list of names I will take it and post it on my homepage, as well as Chills if he wannts to have it here. This is only thought of as a ST help (and player help of course), not a essay, so keep the info light. What is of interesest thought is name, birth and death years, whereabouts in the 1920s and occupation (what they are going to be known for, not what they do to survive).
