She walked into my office and said "I'm writing a story about Bert and Ernie as gay criminal partners in the 1940s on the run from the police."
I must create these as NPCs in a game!

Mining old cartoons for NPCs has always been something I've done in lieu of actually creative talent. The only problem you might run into is that I'm not sure how well you can extrapolate characters into fully fleshed out NPCs.
But I'd play the fuck out of a noir sesame street game.

My wife has unfortunately never been bitten by the RPG bug no matter how often I've tried to get her into it. She writes a lot though. She hopes to be published one day. This is just a silly concept coming from an episode of sesame street this morning my daughter watched and I thought these would be amazing NPCs. Now I just need to figure out how to incorporate them into my Traveller game. I'm thinking they'll be named Bart and Arnie and they'll own the ship "Pigeon Chickadee".

I once prepped a Urban Fantasy campaign with the Seasme Street crew as monsters from folk lore and window dressing NPCs Oscar the grumpy bugbear (not the DnD one, the folklore one. Look it up) who at one point ate a child molester Big Bird the Pooka, also has a dark streak in the defense of kids. And Bert and Ernie. Only they were just humans Mining old cartoons for NPCs has always been something I've done in lieu of actually creative talent. The only problem you might run into is that I'm not sure how well you can extrapolate characters into fully fleshed out NPC's Pick characters that you know very well and that have a lot of history behind them. For example my old DnD group fought the Doppleganger Lich...... Or rather Apcolypse from the X-Men. Who was betrayed but his Necromancer follower (Mr Sinister) both ow which I know very well. I tweaked the MO and ways of talking to keep the players from guessing BUT none of them were X-Men fans like I am.

I do come with completely original characters from time to time. Just thought I should throw that out there.

T his is taking form in OneNote.
A Noire RPG setting based on Sesame street.
I think I am going to run it in Technoire because I am a scifi/cyberpunk junky.

Big Bird has to be a genetic experiment.
Oscar rejected his bioimplants and now is strung out all the time.
Cookie is actually a highly addictive synth drug, and Cookie monster is a junkie.
Count is a vampire, because AH AH AH

Elmo is a tough midget gang leader and Zoey is his sister who's now a Glampunk rocker!

I think Oscar is going to be a former soldier - his implants were removed when he was court marshaled out of the force. He now works as hired guns for any of the local gangs of crime syndicate.
