NPC Inc.

Welcome Internet Travelers!

Come on in and sit for a while, and hear the tale of four brave adventurers of the Mundane Realm in a new campaign from NPC Incorporated, a Dungeons & Dragons 5e podcast set in the real, boring world of jobs. Based on the characters and classes from the classic tabletop role playing game and translated for the modern era, this story takes place in a shipping facility in “Fantasy Chicago,” 1989. Join in for the rad exploits of June Esmond (Firbolg Cleric), Matt Meat (Tabaxi Monk), Quinn Larkin (Gnome Paladin), and Dimetra Kubrick (Tiefling Warlock) as they navigate a vast warehouse and try to avoid succumbing to the existential dread of their demanding, exhausting jobs.

Will our heroes be able to balance work and life, or will they burn out? Will they be able to meet their quotas in the cavernous warehouse and earn the ultimate prize (a pizza party for Lunch on Friday)? Will they be able to defeat the final, literal boss?

Shipping & Receiving, Episode 53: Engage-Mint

Greetings, dear listeners! Our heroes’ strange Tuesday continues, but at least they get a chance to relax and consider their pasts and futures over lunch. Will some food and drink clear their minds and help them figure out what happened during the blur of the previous week? Or will they sink deeper into their new tasks, getting lost in supply room clean-ups, bowling plans, and survey distribution? Perhaps the advice of an older worker might come in handy, but everyone knows she hates being disrupted during lunch. Actually, she might just hate everything, all the time...

Thirst for Adventure Live: Gnomeo Mustn’t Die

Greetings, listeners! Here’s another edition of our live show series Thirst For Adventure! In this adventure, four heroes have to help a hopelessly-romantic gnome who’s looking for love in all the wrong places! Like, really dangerous places. With the help of a god of chaos (and temporarily love) the heroes head to meet Gnomeo’s date, and hopefully not a terrible fate! Oooo, I love to rhyme! Get ready for an exciting and adorable adventure filled with passion, bloodshed, a magic goose, big boyfriends and one very cute squirrel.

Greetings, dear listeners! Our heroes have awoken to a brand new day, but not in the week they expected! What will they learn about what they did last week? Was everything super chill and there’s not rebellion forming, pissed off middle managers, social obligations and a terrifyingly boring employee engagement survey waiting for them at NPC Inc.? Or are all those things definitely waiting for them, plus some other problems I didn’t list?? It’s the second option! If I insinuate there might be a problem for our heroes, there usually is, I’m such a scamp!

Greetings, dear listeners! The Green Team is back, right where we left them in the heart of the sinister Elder Brain Symposium. If I remember correctly, everything was going great, right? Hahaha, just kidding. Dimetra and Daniel were in the clutches of the Shell Corp., Quinn was off with the Mad Doctor of Corporate Cohesion, and Matt and June were wrapped up in team building exercises with Bernard, who remains very hard to read! Whew, that’s a lot. I’ll let you discover the rest of the story in this thrilling episode, with an ending that will change the Green Team’s week forever (or at least a week).
