On this week's episode of Threat Dice: Non-Player Characters. The players of a tabletop RPG portray a tiny slice of the people that populate a fictional world. All the rest of them belong to the GM. But how do we create them? How do we make them feel real? How can we inspire sympathy in fictional characters, to the end of guiding and inspiring the players?

All that, and more, in this week's discussion!
