I bought this knowing that the material was repeated from the Jade Regent's Player's Guide but with additional goodies. The additional goodies are fair and give some catalysts for creativity but nothing was a "wow, I would have never thought of that" piece. What really fails with this product is the lack of editing of the repeated information from the Player's Guide. Page numbers reference the original document, not the new page numbers of the current document for example. If this is to be a generalized expansion on the Caravan Rules, then references to the Jade Regent should be omitted entirely. Someone reading this blindly is going to wonder who the heck "Sandru" is and why some PCs start with three wagons. The most irritating aspect of the product is the omission of the caravan month salary table! I went to look up the cost of an additional cook and ended up having to dig out the Player's Guide which seems to be contradictory of what the LPJ product should be doing. For $3 spent, I would have gotten more bang for my buck out of a cup of java at the local coffee shop.
