Again, not to make two reviews sound the same, but I've read a number of books on building characters, not just for rpgs, but also for general stories. Most have different takes on the various archtypes, but this book combines alot of that information into a very easy to read synopsis. It also gives a ton of great ideas for character interactions and setting up the NPCs in a campaign for getting the most out of interactions, as well as between the characters. I highly recomend this book.

I've read a number of books on setting, "world building" and putting together campaings, this book is very thorough, at 105 pages, with very little fluff. The information is useful for beginners and for more experienced gamers that I know I'll be refering back to quite often as I work on my own campaign.

Silver Gryphon Games usually puts out really good products, but honestly, this is just... nothing. It's a few lines on a page with some blank space to one side... 250 times. I expected some customized graph paper at least. Save yourself the $2.50 and just buy a 99-cent pad of notebook and graph paper. The face that it was originally listed at $9.95 is almost offensive. I’m sorry, but this was just a bit insulting from a company that I respect.
