Good, worth the purchase but has some short comings.

So the product is not bad but this company's products are often better. The secrets are interesting but obvious choices. The ones that most people who sat down and tried to make this product would come up with. There are a few good ones.

I was very pleased with this product. When first opening the book, the formatting and smart layout caught my eye. Each secret has a clear heading, that is very noticeable.

But what I really enjoyed is the plug-n-play nature of this content. These nasty little secrets will work with any game. Quite a few of the secrets have a suggestion, detailing how someone with said secret could come into play, and the havoc they would cause.

I heartily recommend this product.

Very cool ideas to really make your NPCs lifelike and memorable. I would highly recommend this to any GM/DM who is looking for something to spice up his characters!

As the other reviewer mentioned, there are some pretty perverse secrets contained within this PDF. But, to be honest, that's what typically makes a secret. Having a secret fantasy of coloring pictures of donkey's isn't interesting, however, having an attraction to corpses or to having a drug addiction, now that's interesting!

Iron Nugget 36 NPC Secrets morbidly provides some useful secrets that can be used for NPCs, primarily for modern campaigns and, even then, those with serious adult themes. The PDF starts off great, with a decent format explaining the secret and a Suggestion of how it can be used. But a good many of the secrets veer off into adventure hook land and some, such as cannibalism and Pedophile feel incredibly adult to be in a PDF.

The Iron Word The author has some good ideas, and this book works primarily for modern campaigns with adult themes and more realistically dark characters.

I must say that I don't agree. I actually found the secrets quite useful when writing adventures

I bought this after reading the reviews of other products. The price was low, and donated to UNICEF. Unfortunately the contents are a total failure. If you are going to be satisfied by a NPC's secret that she is a thief, or a crossbreed, or one of the listed mental illnesses, then go ahead. You will be donating to a good cause. But if you are expecting imaginative content then stay away from this and make your donation directly.
