How do you handle verbal exchanges between NPCs without taking the PCs out of the spotlight?
You should be familiar with this set up: All the characters are at a party with a plethora of NPCs. The NPCs all talk to each other and some will include the character, some will not. How do you effectively role play a conversation between two (or more) NPCs that the characters may or may not be interacting with? How do you keep clear which character is speaking? How do you make sure that the conversation feels like a real one and not like one person playing both roles?
