NPC's (Non-Player Characters) are everywhere in your D&D world. They are literally every character that your DM plays, whether that is the King or Queen of an empire, or a cute, little Squirrel you talk to with Speak with Animals. They populate your world! So how can you make your NPC's more impactful to your campaign? Join us this week as we discuss this on Beyond the Tavern Wall!----------Music provided by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Music also provided by Monument Studios

Send us a textRunning NPCs“You see a long hallway made from stone, the ceiling is low and several of the supports along the walls look old and on the verge of collapse. What do you want to do?” the GM said in an ominous voice.I looked over at Chris, “whadda ya think?”“That's got trap written all over it” he said.“Yea, Lets have our NPC thief check it out and make sure it's safe.” I looked at the GM.He nodded his head and said “Cool” and began rolling dice…and rolling dice…and rolling dice. I started flipping through the rulebook out of boredom.Finally, the GM spoke up. “OK, He discovered three traps and managed to disarm two of the but he failed his check on the third one. Rocks crashed down pinning him at the end of the hallway. He calls out to you in pain asking for help.”“Oh, Wow, we got lucky there. OK, lets send our NPC barbarian to move the rocks and free the thief.”“Great, let me make some die rolls.” The GM went back to rolling dice and I went back to flipping through the rulebook.If that sounds familiar to you, don't get discouraged. Non-Player Characters are important, and a necessary part of roleplaying games. We have talked about how to build them, how to create compelling NPCs and a few tips and tricks to tie them to the party, but we have never really talked about using them in a game.If you have ever had an NPC that just magically appeared when needed, but otherwise didn't exist, this is for you.If you have ever had a Player come back at the end of an encounter and say, “Hey isn't that something our NPC could have done?” then this is for you.If you have ever gone three game sessions and forgot you had a companion traveling with you on your adventures then we are talking to you.NPCs,How do you run them, how do you incorporate them naturally into a party, and how do you not forget you even have them? These are all great questions and we are going to talk about that on today's episode.Mike, You've been doing this awhile, you've never had problems running NPCs before have you?[Kick to Mike]

Preparing to run a new game can be daunting. A game master must design the world the players will be adventuring in. They will need to create a compelling story, a reason to adventure. They will need to fill their new world with set pieces, action, and amazing locals. Finally, they will need a villain, a character that will compel the players to risk their own lives to stop it's evil machinations.As game masters we often find ourselves excited for the first night of the campaign. The scene is set and everything is ready to go.Then the players make their first moves.“Let's stop by the blacksmiths shop before we go, to see what they've got.”“Uh ok, lets see…the blacksmiths shop, got it. You see the blacksmith working behind a forge.”“Cool, what do they look like…Are they young or old? Do they look like they know what they are doing? Hey excuse me! How long have you been working iron in this town? Do you live above the forge? Have you ever seen a shield like the one I'm carrying?”And, all that hard work sits unused in the notebook while you have to create an NPC on the fly.The Non Player Character is one of the most important aspects of any roleplaying game, but it's the one we typically spend the least time creating. Good NPCs will make an adventure, while bad ones can derail things faster than you can image.A great example of this just happened in our groups Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. In the opening session I introduced Lt. Poole to the players, specifically one player character Dr. Lillian McKay. Dr. McKay was a pathologist working at the hospital so it only made sense that she would be familiar with some of the NYPD Homicide detectives. With an Appearance Score of 85 it also tracked that the overworked, out of shape, rumpled detective would have a little bit of a crush on the pretty doctor. So while the Lt. would intimidate everyone else, he would probably over share a little with Dr. McKay. Bring her some coffee and bagels, while dropping off confidential police files, checking up on her occasionally just to make sure she was ok.When I killed him in a very brutal manner, I could see the player visibly get a little angry, and that's when I knew I had pulled it off.It did piss you off a little didn't it Christina?[Kick to Christina]Today Christina and I are going to talk about creating compelling Non Player Characters and give you some tips and tricks to do this quickly and on the fly.So, Christina, How do you like to start creating your NPCs?

Fate seems to have taken a byline, a break, a breather. Here back in Gimle, things are so different and yet also terribly the same. Sure, Harald has been retrieved, but nothing else has changed. Truly, things are only worse and there is yet so much to do.

Well, it had to happen sometime. We found an episode we recorded and forgot to publish! Non-Player Characters are vital in your TTRPGs. But how do you keep it fresh and fun? Is there some way to make some things a little squishier and others much more hulked out? Absolutely! In today's episode, we outline 6 different types of NPCs: Mobs, Monsters, Champions, Nemesis, Legends, and Deities. We talk about what to change, what to leave out, and the important steps in creating each type. We also offer advice on how to keep the mechanics from bogging down along the way. This discussion is helpful whether you play D&D, Pathfinder, Vampire, or any of the great indie tabletop games out there. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell all your friends! We'd also love to hear what you think about the show.

Welcome to DoubleDMs Episode on D&D and TTRPG Non-Player Character Creation.

“How many of your crops are like this?” the Constable asks. Rosdan, the local farmer who asked for this meeting, looks right into Constable Yerip's eyes and says, “All of them sir. There's not a single grain that isn't tainted.” Yerip steeples his hands and sits back in his chair. He sits for a moment thinking. “What happened to the few people who ate the grain?” Rosdan paused and then said, “they turned into monsters. There's something evil in that grain and I don't know what it is. It might have something to do with that star that fell not one month ago. I tell ya sir, twas a bad omen to be sure.” Yelp holds the tainted stalk of grain up to you and your companions. “What do you make of this adventurers?” You hold it up to your nose. The stalk which would normally have the familiar scent of summer and the harvest bears a sickly sweet stench that seems to hide something more bitter. The stalk that was once golden is now turned a purplish color. Very faint blue lights can almost be seen within the veins of the plant. You hand it to Bophregar whose eyes glow for the briefest of seconds. “The tainted stalk of grain leaks faint magical energies. This fact does not bode well for the people of this village. I recommend the rest of the tainted crops be burned immediately and not consumed. Other foods must be procured.” Constable Yerip stands and says, “Well that's the problem. We have no other food stores. We must find the source of the taint and destroy it. Actually, that is why I called you adventurers here. Can you please rid us of our taint?” So what would you like to do? Welcome back to the 17th episode of How to Be a Better DM. It's me again, your host Justin Lewis (yes I do have a name). I'm here to help you craft ever better stories for yourself and your players as you dungeon master sessions of D&D 5e. I want to thank you all for coming back week after week. Lately, I've gone through some personal struggles and I'm very grateful for those who enjoy the show even when I don't feel like myself while doing it. You guys are awesome and are the real stars of this show. Now let's talk about characters, specifically Non-player characters. For those of you who are the newest of the new at this, a non-player character is simply any character in the story that will be played by you. In that, it's kind of a misnomer because even though you are the DM, you are still playing a game with your friends, a fact that by definition makes you a player, but I digress. These are the characters your players will interact with and will use to help immerse themselves into your world. So they gotta be good right. But making characters that come alive can be really hard. So here are a few tips to help make better Non-Player characters. Think about their purpose All of your NPC's need a purpose. Sometimes that purpose is just to make your players laugh and add in some comedic relief. Sometimes the NPC is just there to buy and sell items or to move the plot along. Sometimes the NPC is the plot. Most of the time, your NPC's will have a mix of multiple purposes. Knowing the NPC's purpose will help with everything else in the story. Just be prepared when the players decided to take the purpose you've designed for your NPC and twist it and generally muck things up. You might have a simple merchant that the players decide they really like so they spend way more time getting to know their back story than should've ever happened. Oh well. Give them something memorable With each NPC that you want your players to remember, give them something memorable. This might mean making the NPC funny, or rude so the players remember the interaction with the NPC. Or maybe you give them a defining feature that you constantly bring up in describing the interaction because the players' characters keep noticing it. Maybe it comes out in the voice you use for the NPC. The best way to do this is probably to think, “What...

I had the honor and privilege to interview Frank Castle from iamwearefearless.com With his radio show Fearless broadcasting on Truth Frequency Radio. If you are not ready for your reality to be shaken, then you may not want to listen to this interview. We talked about many topics that question everything in our reality. If you are fearless enough to question everything about your existence and everything in this reality then this interview may be just what you need to help break out of this illusion.HERE ARE A FEW TOPICS WE COVERED WITHIN THIS INTERVIEW:- What is reality?- Do we live within a Simulation?- Is this reality similar to the movie The Matrix?- Is everything an Illusion?- Who created this Simulation?- Are we just bits of code within a computer program?- Where do Aliens fit into the picture within this program?- Do extraterrestrials know they are apart of this simulated reality?- What are NPCs non player characters?- How do we break free of this false reality matrix?- Do certain drugs like DMT and ayahuasca help to break free of this illusion?- Do the powers that shouldn't be intentionally keep certain natural drugs illegal so we stay stuck within this matrix?
