Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Dungeon Masters block, the place where where we focus on the Dungeon Master, the most important person in the game, the only person capable of playing God, killing characters, and lowering the egos of all the other players at the table. I'm one of your host, Dungeon Master Chris. And I'm Dungeon Master Mitch. And we are joined by one of our former players who unfortunately hasn't been

able to play with us in a while. Jared. Say hi Jared. Hi. I'm Flawful. Flawful Jared. That's right. Flawful Jared. So good to have you back, buddy. You ready to talk with us today? I am. All right. And we are going to be talking about today MPCs, how to make them memorable, how to incorporate them into your game and how just to use this thing in Dungeons

of Dragons that is a lot of people don't really understand how to do them memorable, how to incorporate them into your game, and how just to use this thing in Dungeons of Dragons.

A lot of people don't really understand how to do it and do it well.

And so we're going to bring you some of our quote unquote expertise, some of our stories about some of the NPCs we've used, and so on and so forth, all pertaining to NPCs today.

So before we get started, we're going to jump into shoutouts.

So Mitch, do you want to do the first one?

Of course.

Our first shoutout is entitled, by far, the best D&D podcast available.

And of course, it is how many stars?

Five, that's right.

And it's by Spark Aaron, Sparky, Erick's. What Sparky tells us is he says, I'm an odd case when it comes to podcast. I just want to start up by saying that the first time I read this, I almost teared up. So he says, I'm an odd case when it comes to podcast because I love them, but I also love multitasking. The problem is, when I'm multitasking, I tend to miss a lot of

the podcast. DM's block has cured me of that. I find it sufficiently entertaining to just sit

and listen to this amazing show without doing anything else at the same time. It offers a great

blend of entertainment, information, and creative fuel. I'd recommend to any DM or player looking to get a D&D fix between sessions. Thank you so much, Sparky. That is an awesome, awesome, awesome review. When he first said I'm an odd case when it comes to a podcast, I was like, wait a minute, where is this gonna go? How is it gonna start out?

And then I read, I was like, that's awesome. I love that. So I have another one, it's Masters of Their Craft by Geeky DM. It's another five-star review, and he says, this podcast is by far the most inspiring and informative tool for any dungeon master no matter which edition is being run. These two experiences, experience DMs run you through different scenarios and situations that

one might face while sitting at the head of the table.

This is all while giving the listener an imaginative tale of their own campaigns and raising

the bar every episode.

That's what we try to do.

We try to make every episode better than the other one.

Yep.
