There's a lot of content here but it could really use some redevelopment in presentation.

The first thing is I don't see the need to separate statblocks by racial/culture concepts. This could be a much better product sorting statblocks by profession/category and then providing non-race-based statblocks with offering an earlier note of racial bonuses to add IF we're factoring for NPC race AND have a list at the beginning of suggested NPC types per town.

The other thing I really don't like about this product is the terrible formatting. Statblocks are constantly cutting off one page or coloum and spilling onto the next. This is a digital book, what harm is there in taking a few more pages up? The fact I have to copy the statblocks onto Microsoft word so I can properly format them is a problem.

I needed these statblocks for a project I've been working on for a long time. But I would have really appreciated a little more thought process had gone into the formatting and presentation. Please release an update version with these things considered.

A useful product! Something to have at hand to have a wide range of commoners to throw into the mix. One minor gripe would be the formatting, as some of the stat-blocks are clustered but that's more a personal thing.

This is a really good product for the price point and a handy tool for a Dungeon Master to have in their toolbox. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the layout needed more work. A lot of the stat blocks were broken up across multiple pages. Also, it would have been nice if there was some art work inside the product. Even some stock art to break up the text would have been perfect and could have been used to fill in white space which would have been created if the stat blocks were intact.

All in all, this is a smart purchase and I highly recommend it.

Having quick & easy stats for NPCs saves me a ton of time and inspires me. I consider it a key tool for DMing and would recommend it to anyone. It is cheap, direct, and well made. BUY IT! Also - thanks to the author, Esteban. I'd love to see more work like this. :)
