A great collection of additional backgrounds to supplement those found in the standard books. While the formatting and lack of artwork is a bit of a let down, you can't fault the quality of the written content or the price tag.

My players are enjoying having a few extra options to choose from.

great work! always nice to have new options! You can make your own, but so often new players would prefer something tangible to work with :)

I just bought this product. I'm not sure if something went amiss, but for some reason I ended up with 'only' 21 of the 25 advertized backgrounds. The backgrounds I'm missing are: dealer, doomsayer, monster breeder and strong(wo)man. The pages these backgrounds should be on are oddly numbered as well (i.e. monster breeder, between jester p. 20 and pilgrim p. 22, is on page 4 according to the table of contents).

Did I inadvertently download a wrong or incomplete file?

The other backgrounds like fine and I'm looking forward to using (some of) them.

Sure, you can make up your own new backgrounds, but I'm going to pull up this PDF when my players make characters and offer these instead of working that hard!

There isn't a single one of these backgrounds that I wouldn't allow, though there are a few that I would consider tweaking just a little bit. On top of that, they all make good sense in terms of equipment and feature choices.

The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star for me is that a few of the features contain elements that could be just a touch more powerful than others. This comes in the form of certain granted abilities being "automatic" as in "you can just do this thing" where I feel like they should convey advantage on the activity in question. You may not have that issue so it could very well be your next 5 star addition to your game.

In terms of production and what it offers to your players, this is an easy yes for adding to your game.
