Here is a running list of issues I encounter with workarounds, will try to keep this brief.
Franz doesn't transfer items from other NPCs. He knows they're there, he includes them in roleplay, items on the person and what's in their hands, however he will much rather regenerate the items and he won't transfer them to the player from the NPC.
Workaround: Just dupe it, add it to your inventory manually. Not ideal but don't waste your time fighting Franz, he won't do it.
Franz makes up new monsters instead of using the ones from the monster list.
Workaround: Create an instruction for Frans to use monsters only from the DND monster list, that's what he calls it. I will work on a work around to fix the Backstories of Character's that have scene monsters and explicitly state what Monster they saw.
People don't recognize I'm a police Officer:
Workaround: Use some banter to hook it on Franz, "stop mucking around, you know who I am, I step out so he can get a better look at me" (Characters will be apologetic for not recognizing you and then you will be called Detective or whatever role you gave yourself) I will attempt to fix it by creating a Police Faction and hard lock the NPCs to that faction in which you can join it from character creation if you want to play the Cop.
