NPC??? Non-Personal Computer, why not call them PCs (Public Computers)? Now I'm completely confused...

Nononono. PC=Politically Correct. NPC=NonPolitically Correct. So a TPK is one in which all Politically Correct characters die.

Ahh, now the emphasis on nameless NPC in mook makes totally sense... Who wants to be identified when being non-political correct...
