PUBG Logic PUBG Logic is set in an
online multiplayer battle royale game (ostensibly ''
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds''). Characters are players'
avatars and the comedy focuses on the
bugs, gameplay limitations, and
exploits in the game. Use of the
PUBG imagery has been endorsed by the game's creators, and due to the popularity of the game, and the group's sketches, they have attended gaming
conventions (
Armageddon) and tournaments (
League of Legends Pro League) to promote these characters. A
supercut of the first season has reached over 17 million views on YouTube.
Epic NPC Man Epic NPC Man is a
sketch comedy set within "
Skycraft", an entirely fictional fantasy
MMORPG where
non-player characters (NPCs) and players interact.
Epic NPC Man deconstructs the in-universe logic of role playing games (RPGs), the mechanics of video games and the fantasy genre at large, typically spoofing real-life game franchises such as
The Elder Scrolls,
World of Warcraft, ''
Baldur's Gate and The Witcher''. The series takes place in Azerim (a portmanteau of
Azeroth and
Skyrim), a sprawling medieval kingdom assailed by the neighbouring
Orcish land of Shmargonrog. Initially,
Epic NPC Man was presented almost exclusively from the perspective of Greg (Morrison), a lowly NPC, garlic farmer and quest-giver in the tranquil but unremarkable village of Honeywood, observing the often confusing activities of players. Other recurring characters include the blacksmith Bodger (Bettjeman), sorcerer Baradun (King), poor fruit merchant Fred Orchardson (Parkinson) and his wife Fredda (McCall), the continuously crying Eugene (King), town fisherman Baelin (Bettjeman), the muggers Charles (Van Lier) and Bernard (Bettjeman), and "the Watcher" (King), a thinly veiled analogue for
Geralt of Rivia. A core mechanic of the series and one of the characterising features of "
Skycraft" are its sentient NPCs. In the tangentally-linked series
DEV it is revealed that this sentience is the side effect of a developer being over-committed to improving the graphics of the game. Many scenes have been filmed at
Howick Historical Village. to produce a short film set in the
Epic NPC Man universe. ''Baelin's Route: An Epic NPC Man Adventure'' premiered on YouTube on 9 May 2021. The film, which was written by Morrison and directed by Morrison and King, stars Bettjeman as Baelin, a non-player character whose normal route, from home to fishing spot, is interrupted by a human player (Ben Van Lier) and a damsel in distress (Phoenix Cross) making him into a reluctant hero. It had over 900 thousand views within 24 hours of its release.
Hero Outage In October 2024, an original eighty-page
comic book titled
Epic NPC Man: Hero Outage was co-produced by Viva la Dirt League and Bad Egg Publishing, written by
Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Bailie Rosenlund. It features virtually every character from
Epic NPC Man in a standalone story, wherein a server issue causes the "adventurers" of Azerim to vanish.
Nice Day for Fishing Nice Day for Fishing was developed by studio FusionPlay and published for release by
Team17 on May 29, 2025, for Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo platforms. The 2D action RPG follows the NPC Baelin the Fisherman, who is changed into a playable character, aka an "Adventurer", as the player accepts quests from the various characters of the
Epic NPC Man cast.
''Mug 'Em'' In mid-2025, a spin-off of
Epic NPC Man premiered on Viva Plus entitled ''Mug 'Em''. The series focuses on Charles (Bettjeman) and Bernard (Van Lier), a pair of dim-witted NPC muggers who audition new and often unsuccessful criminal activities.

Dev Dev is a series made as of November 2024 showcasing the inner workings of the Dev team that created the fictional hit game "
Skycraft" which
Epic NPC Man is set in.
Dev centers around the fictional studio "Arcticstorm", a pastiche of companies such as
Activision Blizzard and
Bethesda Softworks, satirising the business practices of the video game industry. In the series, a newly hired community manager witnesses the core team of Arcticstorm in their efforts to avariciously monetize their player base. Their tactics include promoting content they have little intention to produce and inflating the prices of in-game items, to varying success.
