Wonderful collection of NPCs! The set is not only diverse in species, character class, etc, but in many other aspects that make each one both interesting and of interest, adding potential breadth and depth to any game they show up in! I'm fond of the orcs in particular, as well as the ranger who seems like she might have been raised by wolves, but is very probably autistic. No one's individuality is presented with any kind of mockery, but the range offered goes well beyond the standard published fare- and they still fit into any world you'll put them in, easy as pie.

Nice cover and page art – beautiful but still fairly easy to read. A space between each entry would have helped. I expected to see a list to roll on, but the supplement jumps right into the character descriptions. This makes it a little more difficult to use as a spur-of-the-moment resource but dang, take five minutes of prep time and you have a handful of wonderful characters to round out the common patrons of your local tavern or inn. Even so, it’s still a huge time-saver for GMs, and there are enough characters to sprinkle through many inns, in many places. These characters offer story hooks too, so you’ve got 100 jumping-off points for quests and stories. These characters aren’t confined to the tavern either, but could be encountered at the market, the temple, coming or going through the town gates, or on the road. All in all, a great supplement, and well worth the price.

This is a wonderful collection of mini-tales to use in any campaign, for certain. It's also just an enjoyable little read in general, for pleasure or inspiration, whether you're currently running a game or not. Using these well-written story nuggets in a game would absolutely make for tasty tasty flavor, and I would personally find it very easy to become engaged for the duration of any of the adventures herein!

Love it! I especially enjoy the Gome and Halfling ones. Its nice to see NPCs with more interesting traits then the typical "hooded figure in the corner", or random tavern folk. A good thing to have for any DM looking to add flavor to towns and taverns and add a bit more rp to their sessions.

If you're tired of only seeing drunkards and wenches in your taverns, this is the resource for you! Concepts range from rogues to clerics and everything in between. Heck, you may even decide to continue using these NPCs for your campaign or even to create your own character!

Awesome resource :) can't wait to use some of these in my next game!

A solid collection of rumors that can be used as simple world building or easily expanded into full plot arcs. The skeletons presented here can be fleshed out to fit any setting, and there's enough variety to suit the interests of whatever adventuring party comes to the table.

Well written. A good helping hand for DMs to help get players interested in a setting. Good for one shots or even worked into longer running campaigns with minimal tweaking.

Well done! The scenarios are well thought out and written, with the obvious "truth" and then the back story that reveals "the rest of the story." A creative way to enliven any game!

Even if all you're doing is looking for inspiration or ideas for your campaign, this is a great place to start. These rumors can be worked into any campaign to add a bit of flavor and, with a bit of work from the DM, entire campaigns can be made using these rumors as a foundation. Each rumor is present with how a character would perceive the rumor then followed up with each step of figuring out the truth of the rumor. If anything, the rumors would intrigue even the most unruly of players into investigating. I would definitely recommend this for any DM to utilize in their campaigns.

A solid collection of rumors that are easily placed into any campaign setting by making a few tweaks, if that. The amount of detail is perfect allowing for as much or as little customization as you want in order to fit them to your world or to your players' playing style.

Wonderful set of rumors and truths, each with an intriguing set-up and a fun twist in the end! Each has the potential to springboard your players into other adventures, to build upon a facet of the world you drop them into, and to get the imagination roiling- an excellent source of inspiration!

As a Dm, this is an extremely useful tool for anyone who would need to spice things up in their own world! The rumors are very thoughtful and fun!

Completely unoriginal! It literally tells you to look up a single momster from another source and use it. It gives absolutely no story and not loot, not explainatoin except some random "lord" wanted loot and failed. pitiful, awful! as a DM I am ebarrased for your PCs. i would ask for a refund, but at .34$ I accept this as valuable XP for "you get what you pay for".

What we have here is one-page affair (in regard to content, without the legal text, artwork, etc.) To get to the point, this supplement falls short of delivering a good encounter description. It has fancy artwork, a good kick-off for the thing to come (a nice scene description and a backdrop story), but as soon as that is established... it fails to provide any meaningful tips on how the combat encounter should play out. You get the stats, but in regard to running the encounter you get lines like (quote) “When playing the Raukamar/Balor you should remember that they have innate magical abilities and these should be used to maximum effect!” “In any event, if the demon looks in danger of defeat then it will flee using magic to avoid pursuit.” To me, this does not really provide help for running a combat encounter. By the by, do not expect a manor. The manor is a smoldering ruin right before the combat encounter starts.
