Popular Reviews of Essential NPCs

Well done. Good quality, and I like the variation. I don't feel like I'm listening to the same story all of the time like with other rpg podcasts.

Addie, Tommy and the gang have something uniquely special with this podcast. Not only do they have the capacity and ability to create some of the most iconic and unique characters I've encountered in any form of media. they play off each other in a way that makes them not only the best example of actual play podcasts and the metric I compare my other experiences with actual play podcasts

Essential NPCs is a great introduction to GMing and playing different RPGs, and they tell some really fun stories besides. The sometimes-recurring characters among the different systems really make it fun to listen to hear who'll pop up next! #welby4lyf

Addie, Tommy, and their ever evolving cast of equally exciting people have made each RPG system witty, funny, and knowledgeable. Their GM talk at the start always gets you information that you need to be a GM or even playing in a RPG of your own. Each season you learn about a new RPG system that sounds exciting and thrilling to play and they then show you through playing out a season of it. Always a hilarious group and worth every second of listening.
