Roleplaying NPCs in Dungeons and Dragons 5e - DM Advice

MONSTERS OF DRAKKENHEIM is 300+ pages of eldritch horror inspired monsters for 5e by the Dungeon Dudes! Coming to Kickstarter March 26th, 2024: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... Advice for Dungeon Masters on for roleplaying and creating memorable non-player characters (NPCs) for your Dungeons and Dragons game.

The Dungeon Master creates and role-plays every single non-player character (NPC) the player characters interact with, whether allies your players rely on, their friends and family, or rivals and enemies. Coming up with creative ideas for so many characters is a challenge. We discuss how to use clear motivations, physical description, personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws to make NPCs come to life.
