3 NPCs for your Tabletop Game 

Oh hey! You can now pick up a full character sheets (complete with stat block!) for Clover on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/pdf-clovers-73262628

Ginny is really out here singlehandedly curing my DM anxiety

Tilly scares me, and I'm the GM...

1 thing I did Is made lore about a old crone that said "the most powerful Warrior to ever exist will be named tim" so everyone started naming their kids tim and that's how all my npcs are named Tim and the players know someone's is important when the name is not Tim.

Damn, Tilly is easily one of the most interesting NPCs I've seen in a while.

Tilly's accent is a lot better than many attempts we hear on American TV shows!

Tilly and Clover are definitely making it into my repertoire of potential tavern encounters!

Well, Now I have to craft an entire world around a queen who can see the future, and a bard in love with the Queen's third daughter. I'm both excited AND annoyed! Thanks a LOT, Ginny (please, take this both as Genuine thanks, AND sarcasm with eye rolling) Also, can we TALK about the production values on this? You gave us FOUR fully costumed, accented and be-wigged NPCs, what a lovely Christmas gift!!!

I'm digging Tilly. A normal girl, but with a monster at her side. Though for the level my parties are at. I think I'd make her an Aranea in disguise! :P

What about a reverse of Valra. The guy is a young gypsy who grew up in a family of "fortune-tellers". He legitimately does have second sight and just assumes that it's normal. He's in his mid-teens and is just confused as to why his family doesn't take his visions seriously and is starting to question their sight.

I love the ad transition almost as much as Clover! Good job with Tilly's accent; it's not easy to do a natural Celtic lilt, and you did well. It sounds like a Highlands accent (kinda like Karen Gillan's) with a bit of Irish newsreader mixed in to soften some of the harsher sounds.

That sponsorship character (Frances) was so cute and such a clever way to insert a sponsorship plug

Tilly's surprise is a lot more intriguing than I thought! That's honestly a fantastic quest hook I could see being an interesting moral dilemma for my players.

Was very turned off by the princess... til it turns out shes lying. BOOM! Fascinated in that story.

I like Tilly - anybody trying to get a monster on their side is a hoot. That being said, there's nothing wrong with a neer-do-well who keeps an oytugh on standby for disappearances.

The most difficult part is when players take the game in a direction you _really_ hadn't planned for and suddenly you need an additional ten to twenty NPCs you never knew existed. Thanks for filling three of those spots!

Clover will end up with the bethroted lady.

My first immediate thought about Valra was "Dang, another stuck up princess." That was wiped away by how interesting you made her backstory, motivation, and desires. Very cool!

"Perhaps the party will hear about it later." They think she'll be fine and suddenly are awoken the next morning by the report of the duelist pistols. I've got plot point ideas already for Valra. Search for the item and find it, only to discover her mother using said item. Or an ally casts a healing spell and unlocks the sight in her.

Curses! I was tricked into watching another ad by it being good and funny!

Your gnomish map-maker gives me an idea for a hook. Pretty basic, she hires your party to protect her as she maps potentially hostile lands, like the Arakokan Empire, The Shadowfell, or Dis.

I like that there was a bonus NPC.

These are all so good, accents, ideas everything. Not to meantion the outfits which are really amazing.

No way! My first ever dnd character was a bard named clover. She was a satyr bard who is a child, yes, a 10 year old child. We love her. I love this bard so much

I realised the lipstick pattern on Valra with a similar shape to Tasha's lipstick. I love how it is unique and brings a regal and mysterious vibe.

Umm petition for more Ginny halfling characters!!! Clover is so CUTE!

I love them all, especially Tilly!

"Very subtle Francis." Lmao, that is definitely a new fave ad segway of mine. Also, if Tilly & Clover were to make it in to someone's campaign, would they be better introduced as not knowing each other that well or friendly enough to know & able to the party with each other's plot hooks?

All right, I'll admit, that was a pretty amusingly clever way to slide in an Advertisement. :) Very interesting NPCs you performed there. Though I half expected Valra to have gone the opposite way. Instead of failing to LEARN the 2nd sight, she was somehow CONCIEVED with the 2nd sight! And innately has had it all her life. (ala Paul Muadib's sister Alia from Dune, who was driven MAD because of it) Good video.

Consider this my contribution to robot currency... and please share more of these!

I think I'm going to include Valra, after I change some names of course. Also, Tilly's plot hook seems great for a low-level party, and I'm definitely keeping it in my back pocket next time I'm running those levels in a game. (Currently they're level 5).

I have known people very like these three... and a half. I applaud your craft.

Thanks for the creative characters! :D

These are so fun! I love the voice you use for Tilly, it's so soothing (although I'm sure it wouldn't stay that way if you crossed her)

It’s definitely given me pause for when my next campaign kicks off - those shy NPCs might have hidden motives. Out of curiosity, from the Backstory cards for Tilly - denial, obsession & pet - When the party enters the tavern, is there any evidence of children in Tilly’s life or hints that she might want children?

This was perfect timing!!!! I needed this! I'm running my first campaign so this is absolutely perfect! I was running out of ideas. Thank you!

The princess would work perfectly for the capital of one of my coutries. Keep up the good work

These characters are so cool! And the way you acted as them was incredible, I’d love to see more of these videos!! (Also here’s a comment for robot currency :) )

I've been loving all the dnd resources you've posted so much, these videos are treasure trove of fun ways to add to the game! These character concepts are so so good, I immediately fell in love with Tilly especially, and all of them come with super fun and intruiging side quests! Definetely would love more of these!

You got me! I was surprised to see an NPC that wasn't one of the pics you put on Patreon. Fantastic ad (and video!)

this hair is **chefs kiss** fantastic

Fabulous portrayals... As I watch these, I can't help but think about how you'd handle the coven of 12 witches in my setting. Each witch is unique, with her own personality, quirks, backstory, and how they interact with the PCs. Each is "cursed" by an ancient magic (more powerful than any spell can fix, including wish), and this heavily influences them. For example, Propheta (rogue/wizard multi-class) has the gift of sight, but her curse is that she only speaks in riddle and hyperbole; Navita, a halfling sorceress, triggers a wild magic surge every time she casts a spell; and Colubra, a tiefling sorceress, turns into a demon if she's exposed to raw meat (she's a vegetarian), and the only way she can turn back is to consume raw meat from three innocent creatures. Once every 30 days, on the night of the full moon, the witches gather for a coven meeting. Occasionally, the PCs get to watch. If the witch can't be there physically, she appears in the form of an illusion (like the holographic Jedi Council).

Thanks for sharing! I was looking for something gloomy for the new town, Tilly will be a great addition!

Great characters! Weirdly I could actually use the joke character, the gnomish mapmaker.

I'm in love with all of them! Tilly is def my favorite one, I love the potential with her

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE HOLY HELL

As much as Francis was kind of a throw-away, ad-specific character, I think having an aspiring map maker with some sort of disability that makes such a task difficult is a really interesting plot point! Perhaps the party could take Francis out to protect and assist her in her cartography, or find a way to make such a task more accessible (either through magic or tinkering - or both). Either way, All of these characters are intriguing and though I'm not a DM (yet), I would be delighted to encounter them, I'm sure!

Just when I am sitting down to write notes for my next session. As always thank you so much Ginny!

Honestly your ad integration skills are stellar, they're so fun and engaging every time

As a cartographer by trade, Francis hits wayy too close to home

Here are three sidekicks that you may borrow: Albrecht Singlestone, a Dwarf bard/sage. His iconic greeting is, "Buy us a drink!". If your party is stumped with too many clues, Al can solve the quest with his Theory of Relative Generality. Badonka Donk is a beautiful Elf with expertise in Performance and Persuasion. If an NPC just won't give up the info your party needs, then Badonka can loosen their lips with nothing more than a bedroll and an hourglass. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Tink Wildweed is a Halfling that loves to craft common magic items. His favs are a sword that casts Faerie Fire, a Ring that casts Find Familiar and a pouch of "mystic tobacco" that casts Minor Illusions. The last item also comes with a box of munchies. Happy New Year!

Jeez, 1k likes and 0 dislikes is just the marker of a well-done content.

Here's some robot currency. Oh and I might yoink some of these... Great job, Ginny!

Fun characters, Clover and Tilly particularly stand out as well rounded character to have fun with in a campaign.

Tilly sounds like something right out of a witcher 3 side quest and I love it.

I love how I am pretending to be my character and role playing while sitting in a tree and drawing my character. She is somewhat of an assassin, so she does good for this.

I said this about the person who is the Dm for the Dungeon Dudes games and I will say it about You, Ginny D! You should Totally become a character actor! You would make a FORTUNE!!!

Hmmmm Might have to use tilly in one of mine. She would fit well. Thank you Ginny.

I recently used Tilley and clover in the same tavern in my game tonight and my party where so intrigued by both of them and our excited to figure out both story’s. Left them on a cliff hanger as the stumbled across the ettercap but unfortunately due to a failed stealth check we’re also stumbled upon by Tilly who was tidying up the evening shift!

How DARE you bait me with an adorable gnome.

Algorithmic contributions such as likes, comments, and shares! Great video!

When you were talking about Tilly, my jaw actually dropped. This is so creative! I love it!

Look, I don't wanna be extorting ya for likes kid, but in this town, ya gotta pay the robot toll

Well done! The sponsorship embedding is such a treat. I loved it. Again ... well done.

I actually like how you intro your sponsors, much better than other you-tuber's straight up adds.

I have a version for you. A young redhaired gypsy (or any other nomadic group if you like) woman who plays the fiddle and dances (Lindsay Sterling and Luthien inspired) She travels with her clan. She distracts while others pick pockets the on lookers in taverns and towns. She can be a bard but I'm AD&D so she is a theif/magic-user. She can weave a sleep spell into her perfomances. Then decides to sing a song The Minstrel Boy (adapted how you like) and then she tells the tale to the PCs Where she might help or guide them into the recovery of the missing harp. So much you can do with this NPC or her kin as the party can encounter her again. Also a good place for a fortune teller and can relay to a PC their doom according to a quest or background.

I'm currently playing my go-to PC(Nathaniel Trevelyan- level 5 NG Human Noble Fighter: Banneret of Restenford), so here's how he'd react to your NPC's Ginny(i'm totally gonna 'borrow' ever one of them, fyi)... CLOVER WITTHORN= having travelled within the same circle as Ridolpho(unsure of spelling), he'd at least volunteer himself(and the party by extension) to act as an intermediary to try to get Clover out of it with her honor(and life!) intact. FRANCIS SUMMERPIKE= First things first, Nate would get the party healer(currently a Tortoise Druid named Bic)to look at her. Then he'd try to figure out how's she keeps gettin injjured at a very low-risk job(Carpel Tunnel syndrome being the only real long term issue). TILLY THE BARMAID(love that accent btw! MUCH better than my horrible Connery attempts)=Tilly might unfortunately cause a party split as while both Nate & Bic could see where her heart is, they'd dtill vote to kill or remove the Ettercap from the area,as it's just too much of a danger. Unfortunately, there's a Hobgoblin Samurai(a story for another day) & a Drow Rogue that'd see no problem with what tilly's doing... PRINCESS VALRA= having grown-up within a similar environment, Nate would have a great deal of sympathy & understanding for Valra's plight. He'd even volunteer himself to help her out for free. He would recommend(you never dictate to royalty) that she tell the truth, if not to the court then at least to her parents. May your pantheon ever favor you(and Happy holidays!), Baron Trevelyan of Restenford

I admit that I usually go AFK during sponsored video commercials... but not for Ginny D's. Being silly and entertaining, and putting time and effort into the commercials, WORKS. Your advertisers will notice the higher returns...

Oh I love all these NPCs so much! Francis might have to make an appearance too in my homebrew, maybe with a side quest to help explore an island nobody has come back from to add to a map...?

Omg I have been hand-drawing all of my maps for my D&D parties until dungeon fog

A halfling trying to get drunk. That would be amusing to see.

Thanks to Dungeon Fog for sponsoring this video! Check out their easy, highly customizable map-making software: www.dungeonfog.com/ginnydi/

I would love to see more npc's from shopkeepers, to passerbys, to professors- its hard for a dm to keep up with the number of creative npc's we're expected to make!

Silky the singing street urchin: When traversing and ally way the party may meat a young tabaxi named soft as silk, although she just goes by silky, silky has a western accent and a pidgin feather in her cap. She is friends with another group of urchins scattered amongst the city, perhaps the party will even meet them on their quest. according to silky “a bard ain’t a bard if they don’t got no Bardy-Majig” this is in reference to her trusty fiddle, Andy, who she left in her old orphanage. Although the orphanage has only been abandoned for 2 or 3 months it is already teeming with monsters. Depending on how you play Andy may or may not be cursed.

i think you could probably make a quest out of Francis's injury! Like he sends the party on a quest to find an artifact that can allow him to write maps with magic instead of by hand, maybe a quill with mage hand or somethin

I have suddenly realised that I have used to bards with swords so much that bard freaking out about future duel is kind of surprising for me.

I love this video, thank you for sharing!! I gift a special npc to my secret santa match from reddit. Abagail is a young beholder who's decided to become a regional baker and open a shop. She's one of the biggest fans of the adventurer and asks her to be a spokesperson for her shop. Her gift was a sweater with abagails face on it. Im definitely keeping her and her shop as a location in my world, she was spontaneous and unexpected but I love her.

What a beautiful sponsor transition. Also I will definitely be using these NPCs. Thank you Ginny!

OKAY GINNY I HAD THIS CRITICAL ROLE IDEA- So, I believe in episode 3 of campaign 2 Fjord just went “Rewind” and Laura said “Oh now I wanna do Hamilton with our voices!” Do you see what I’m getting at?? You could make like a Satisfied Paroday or something with Jester cosplay or something, i have no clue. It’s just a lil idea :P

I think that's the cheapest Anglo-Saxon lyre money can by and still be a playable instrument. 100% approve!

Wow, Tilly has a very similar look and accent to a character I had in mind to make already. But her story is so interesting! Now I'm tempted to make a hybrid of her story with my own.

I’m a huge fan of just how they look lol!

I love these. Keep them coming

Great video! Fun and inspiring!

That was amazing!!! I loved it so much!

These are lovely and extremely useful! :D

I love these! If you have any more I hope you keep them coming!

Love this! I'd love to see more of these videos!

This is great! I like all your characters!

100% need more of these

I LOVE videos like this! These videos are gold :)

Wonderful job! Excellent work.

I would love more of these!!!

Would love more of these!

I don’t even play D&D anymore and I love watching videos like this one. Very well done and interesting.

Love these, can't wait to use them! Thank you Ginny! :D

Really love all these characters and this idea!!

This is awesome! Such a fun helpful tool! Keep up the great work!

Love these ideas Ginny! Keep the OCs coming

This is such a cool idea!!! Love it, please do more!
