Segments:
1. Feature Presentation 1 —– Stupid Movies & RPGs The NPC hosts look at using Stupid Movies as Adventures. They’ll take a look at such fan favorites (?!) as Cannon Ball Run, Jaws, and Convoy.
2. Feature Presentation 2 —– Creating Memorable NPC’s Steve & Rob take a look at what exactly makes an NPC memorable. Some of the ideas they throw around are: Who is the person? What is there history and why are they here now? What is there Motivation in life? Giving them a personality? Use People you know. Using someone Famous. What can they do?

Frugal Gamer
1. The Guild It’s a fun comedy series found on the web that is centered on MMORPG Gamers and what happens when the ‘Guild’ meets in person. Frugal? Sure is! You can ditch your cable TV for webisodes on the internet. At least that my excuse for putting it in the Frugal gamer. 2. How it should have ended Here is another way to spend your time frugally. This is animation which looks at how movies should have ended adding a touch of humor in. Enjoy!
