In this episode we discuss how we build Non-Player Characters and

Implement them in games.  Here are the questions we attempt to tackle:

As a Game or Dungeon Master what goes through your mind when creating an NPC?

Do you prefer to create NPCs based on individuals from history, literature and/or build them from scratch?

When creating NPCs which interact with players or are integral to the plot what details do you always find yourself writing?

What influences your decision on whether to voice your NPCs?

So the group you're running a game for enters a tavern located in a suspiciously out of the way place. Could you create for me a suitably at home NPC?

On the Player-Characters Corner we tackle these questions from the listener:

How do you get into character when you have severe anxiety?

What are some tips on coming up with back stories for a character?
