My friend finished his game of Monkey Ninja Pirate Robot, ported to the Dogs in the Vineyard system. And he has a list of NPCs. Excerpts include:
Benjamin Disraeli (apparently pro-nuke)
William Gladstone (apparently anti-nuke)
The Magnificent Brotherhood of the Flying Machines (blue-clad Irish ninjas on ornithopters)
I am so, so very proud.
