Making an NPC is misfiring

In my game

I'm adding a new NPC "Starside R&D". When I go to the "character details" screen on the scroll bar on the right it is appearing in the PC area not the NPC

I deleted the character and remade it making sure to leave the "tag" blank. It is again showing in the PC zone though it has the NPC autofill data.

Not sure how to correct this but it does seem to be misfiring

Re: Making an NPC is misfiring

When you make the character, leaving the tag blank, where does it appear in the Cast page?

And have you tried putting NPC in the tag area?

Try it now.

It had that NPC as your primary character -- I tried moving the Primary Character to GM and I think that the other should act normally now.

Re: Making an NPC is misfiring

does using the ISO entity for ampersand change anything?

Oh it disallowed the & and I used RnD

List wise it "The Cast" still showing "Starside RnD" in the upper PC region

Minor but wierd possibly indicating other things could happen

Re: Making an NPC is misfiring

Did you try labeling it as an NPC?

very interesting. I did not think about the fact that ISO codes use the ampersand and may be disabled on those grounds.

Re: Making an NPC is misfiring

I'm pretty sure it was due to what Shannara said in message #3.

Re: Making an NPC is misfiring

Is "NPC" in the tag?  If not it's treated as a character.
