As per having a face for important NPCs, I’ve recently started using a google slide show shared with my party. After they meet someone and learn their name, I post the NPCs' portrait and name on a slide, which everyone in the group can add notes to. Always there, easy to use!
Thanks for the advice and clarification on "Secrets and Clues." I've struggled to add those into the game but this makes it more clear. Kudos to you, sir!
Names on printed out faces - little cut-outs that I have in front of me. Best npc improve tool ever, my players think every person in the world is prepared and fleshed out😎
Great advice, as ever, Mike! I've been DMing for about 40 years, and I've learned that improvisation is the DM's most important skill. Your suggestions and focus on this are most helpful!
My random character names are from common names for plants (weeds found in lawns at the moment) and the moons of the solar system for more classical names.
i realy love your work mr. flourish! thanks a lot for all you do! and also i wanna thank you for your always positive attitude. it makes listening to you such an enjoyment! love, TheIM[YsawQ]BA
I keep my session notes digitally, and the I've integrated random tables into the program I use to edit my notes. It can really streamline the use of these tables, but this technique probably isn't available to most DMs.
That Donjon name generator is amazing! Thanks for highlighting that. And I love that the Sly Flourish name generator includes last names. Very handy.
This is dense with great info! Thank you.

Fantastic suggestions! Just watching this video makes me want to run a game. Thanks, Mike.
Yes I need to have names for NPCs I always forget this and my go to is “Bob”.
Lots of good ideas as always
Great advice, if there's one thing my DMing is missing the most it's probably improv tools. Thanks Mike!
Great tips and advice as usual from Mike. Now that I am getting back to a table, I must print my copy of the NPC portraits actually.
Great info Mike!! Love your ideas, and I use your books regularly in my games. Keep up the great work!!

I love my list of names. Such a good recommendation from Mike. I have 5 male and 5 female for each culture/race in my setting.

Excellent Mike ty
the Mythic GM Emulator is MUST HAVE for my games. I'd be curious if anyone else uses it for DnD
