pnum, good idea! An additional feature that could be developed for such a
system would be characters "describing" or "introducing" someone to
characters that someone hasn't met:
Bob meets Mary,
Mary meets Joe,
Mary describes Bob to Joe,
Joe is now familiar with Bob even though he never met him.
Get it?
I hope this is available, if not, I'd love to help code it...
Not that I'm that good.
