NPC Spell-casting in Shadowdark

Welcome to Last Roll of the Week with Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offer hints, review books and other stuff to use in your own games.

In this episode I’m discussing a recent idea I had—inspired by The Monster Overhaul: A Practical Bestiary by Skerples—on how I might streamline spellcasting for NPCs/monsters in my Shadowdark games and Hannah is chipping in with her thoughts on the idea.

We also answer some voicemails from:

🔹Riley of the Diegetic Advancement Podcast🔹Joe from Hindsightless🔹Menion from Confessions of a Wee Timorous Bushi

I’d really love you to get involved in the conversation so we can get some back-and-forth going on this subject, you can leave us a voicemail at: https://www.speakpipe.com/RDDRPGPodcast

Or email us at RDDRPGpodcast@gmail.com or drop me a line on Discord, either sending us a sound file or a written email.

The thumbnail for this episode was drawn by my lovely wife Hannah.
