It's great! If you enjoy tabletop gaming, you'll most likely enjoy that podcast!
Fresh ideas and solid insights on RPGs and board games.
Recently started listening and very much enjoy the content. So far it's been very informative.
I initially starting listening for RPG tips, but I love that this podcast has topics covering RPGs, board games, card games, and even video games. As I like all of these things, this is a great podcast for me. I have enjoyed every episode.
When I began looking for gaming podcasts, I despaired: everything I found was annoying, cloying, obstructive to new listeners, and dominated by a male-centric view of gamers. Suddenly I found the NPC Cast: it was well-produced, interesting, easy to jump into, and above all promoted politically conscious gaming.
I have subsequently fallen in love with other gaming podcasts too, but the NPC Cast was the first, and it always gets five stars.
(Oh, and if Del reads this, I request a South African a... more
Luckily, these guys are more clever than my attempt in the title of this review. Lots of great in-depth discussion on a variety of topics to make our game sessions better. Start with the GM Checklist episode and jump around from there. These guys are knowledgeable, witty, and passionate about tabletop gaming. Keep up the great work!
If you like games, you'll like the NPC Cast. They look at all types of gaming and game geekery and they do it with style. I just wonder when I'll actually level up. Keep up the great work!
While there are a few podcasts that cover this topic, the format, and production quality of this one makes it stand out from the crowd. Chris, Aaron and Del are knowledgeable in all things tabletop gaming, and as a resource for me to continually improve my running of RPGs they offer valuable insights.
I'm a gamer of 20+ years but new to podcasts , I've tried most of them and this is my favourite , it's honest funny and real RPG topics , cheers guys keep up the good work
Dude, when I descovered this podcast as a board gamer I had *NEVER* even played a RPG. Yet, I enjoy every episode of NPC Cast on my drive. AND I have since experienced a couple different RPG games. Somehow these guys manage to keep the show interesting talking about a subject I don't actively participate in. As I live in Western WA I look forward to connecting with them for an RPG session sometime. It helps that it seems we have a lot of interests in common. In short, these guys are good for bu... more
I really enjoy listening to the NPC Cast. The three hosts (we miss you NPCAaron!) provide an entertaining and intelligent discussion on all sorts of gaming topics. I wish I had time to run all the games I've been inspired to write by listening to your podcast. This podcast improves my daily commute and helps me to improve the stories that I tell with friends. Thanks NPCs!

Somebody once told me to download NPC Cast
Chris, Aaron, and Del are the best.
It's a super cool podcast with their tips and good advice;
I'm now a better dungeon master.
Hey now, NPC Cast, You should download, press play
Hey now, it's a great cast, don't mind this review, it's cliched
Lots of clever discussion about games. This podcast is a mainstay
An honest RPG podcast with interesting hosts sharing their enlightened and sincere opinions. Truly, this podcast is integral part of my daily WAAAAAGH!!!

This is the only podcast that I make a point of listening to as soon as it comes out. The content is always on point, and almost always directly applicable to me as both GM and player. Even the rare episode that doesn’t seem to apply to me is worth listening to; in the time I’ve spent tuned in I’ve had so many ideas for my own games that I should really just start dedicating them to the hosts. I also especially enjoy the “what we’re excited about” segment at the end, because it tells me about... more
