I liked it. Short enough to be readable, varied enough to be interesting. Stackbeard's Sapper's above is representative of the amount of detail in each entry: an interesting name, a few words about their unique shtick (quick-tempered desert warriors, or river-running transport experts), and sometimes a few tactical notes (favors surprise attacks under cover of darkness).

The way I plan to use this product is to keep it on my shelf and pull it out when I need a spur to my creativity for a quick origin for some initially-unimportant NPCs, like the guards on a city wall: "you squint at the walls and don't see anyone manning them at first, but then you see the tops of some plumed helmets, and as you approach the gates you see the banner of the Fearless Fraternity, a medium-sized mercenary band of pint-sized halfling warriors, noted for their extreme, sometimes suicidal bravery." In addition, browsing the tables in this product gives me ideas for new lands and kingdoms I might want to add to a campaign on a more permanent basis, as major players.

Excellent product, five stars.

Great supplement. This comes in handy when you need an NPC that's more fleshed out than stats and generic classes. Definitely recommend!

Not really worth 50c. Could have at least included a rough map. Half the document is the cover and credit page, leaving 1½ pages of vague descriptions.

The art of the 'priest' is quite good, but the art of the spiders would be more helpful if they were drawn in or around a city building or street. There is absolutely no art of the city itself.

Wonderful stuff! Each noble house has a unique schtick that makes them notable while still being easily dropped in to nearly any fantastical kingdom, and each one has hints of meat and mystery that can be kept as is or expanded upon at the user's choice. It spans the range of fantastic species and implied game-class preferences, offering diverse utility and flavor to pick from!

A great mix of characters to put not only in your taverns/inns but anywhere your world needs a quick NPC. I'm looking forward to using this in game.

I really love this book! Sometimes I dont have the time to think of interesting bandits for my players to face and what this book does really helps me to put these interesting npc's into play!!! There is a bandit for every occassion. Pick this up to make your game a lot more interesting!

100 characters, each with a short description, each with an interesting backstory and potential hook for ongoing role-play. Sprinkle them down lonely roads, in the wild lands, in back alleys, and in rough taverns. They don't have stat blocks, so are appropriate for any game system and level of play. While you can slap these skins over a standard bandit or thug stat block, they'll make far more interesting encounters if they are tailored to your game and players. Perfect for reoccuring villains.

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.
