Well written, but far too short for it's price. I like to support an author, that's why I rate three stars, but I admit then when I opened the PDF I felt cheated. Next time I'll read the product informations with more care.

This PDF is okay. It mainly focuses on the specific factions of Faerun (Order of the Gauntlet, Harpers, etc.) instead of factions in general, which was disappointing, and all the tips and examples in the PDf are overly complicated, in my opinion. Sometimes too complex to even be accessible as a common, casual DM. It has one example "custom" faction at the end, but it's a very unique one that would be hard to reverse-engineer and utilize for your own purposes.

If you're hoping, like I was, for a guide of hard-and-fast tips and steps to take for making solid factions and coming up with good conflicts between factions in any setting, you may be disappointed.

I did not realize it was this short. My own fault for not realizing where to find that info. Well written but I'd love a deeper dive from such an accomplished author.
