About this episode
This week we’re covering all of the basics when it comes to NPCs! How do you come up with them and how can you use them? What’s a DM-insert NPC and what makes them special? When do NPCs need stat blocks? We’re going to go over it all so that you can try your hand at making your own NPCs! They can help your players, your story, and your world building! So let’s start talking about NPCs!
