DM Tips:

Make your NPCs multidimensional by giving them interests and skills outside of the context the PCs give them. The cute barista who flirts with one of the PCs as they get morning coffee? Beetle expert. And guess what the next plot coupon is and what they need to decipher it! Give the local blacksmith a keen interest in runic icoonography! Not only does it allow you to do a cool sidequest regarding some runic blacksmithing magic but it also explains why he knows so much about ancient Dwarven script despite being human!

Give the gritty cyberpunk bar some flair by giving the bartender in your cyberpunk dystopia a minor PhD in robotics engineering because all of his auto-bartending gizmos are salvaged junk and the fact that they work at all is a testemant to the skill of the engineer who keeps them running and the grace of fucking god. But, hey, if the android PC should ever get shot the fuck up and they need some emergency, black-market repairs? Well... they know a guy.

And the reason for this, of course, as we all well know, came about for one specific reason: So we have to remember fewer voices. Deepening the value of the world the PCs inhabit was a side-effect.

Owl with a weird staff

Druid that can’t Druid

Bard that plays the bagpipes instead of hitting the monsters

Dungeon Masters be like:

When you're a well-meaning warlock but your patron has a different alignement-

I just think warlock and patron dynamics can be super funny at times- (Specially when said patron arrived there uninvited)
