Lots of characters inhabit your game world other than the player characters. Daryl, Nick, & Robert give their thoughts on making and managing the NPCs who end up coming along for the ride alongside the PCs. And Daryl may get a little too stuck on using Stuart from The Big Bang Theory as an example.

Not Just Sidekicks - Making & Managing NPC Companions

The comics industry lost a legend recently, with the passing of self-described Writer of Stuff, Peter David after a long series of medical troubles. Daryl and Nick, along with our friend Brev from The Movie Defenders podcast, discuss David's work, the legacy that he left behind touching not just a broad tapestry of characters, but the readers of his work.

If you've been moved by Peter's work, and are so inclined to help his family with the burden of the medical costs that remain, please support the GoFundMe established by a family friend:
