The monster this time is one that players face more often than any other. DMs across the world have had to lay numerous of these foul beasts to rest in the wake of adventurers… that monster is… the COMMONER!

Join us and special guest Ketih Ammann, author of The Monsters Know What They Are Doing, as we discuss how to use commoners in your game (that doesn’t involve them dying), the evolution of the commoner throughout D&D history, and how to use NPCs to build your world. Along the way, there may be some accidental slaughter as well. It’s hard to avoid when a commoner only has 4 hitpoints.

Keith Ammann’s The Monsters Know What They Are Doing is the perfect companion to our podcast: 500+ pages of monster tactics, psychology, and tricks for any DM to use and any reader to enjoy. Very excited to have him on the show! You can check out his work below:http://themonstersknow.com/
