A podcast where we create and discuss homebrew content for tabletop roleplaying games, primarily Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Here, we try to expand on the options presented to us in the published material, to offer some guidance for aspiring storytellers trying to figure out how to make their big ideas become reality. Here, we stir the pot and lick the spoon. Logo art by David Sutherland - find him on Deviant Art: https://rb.gy/hqmjgo

The second part of a two-part series, where we go into detail on how to create more immersive and dynamic nonplayer characters (NPCs). We give you some guidelines for making very basic NPCs on the fly, and how to get maximum return for minimal investment in NPC details. Like last week, we end the episode by creating a character from scratch, using the guidelines we lay out.
