Instead of recreating the wheel, perhaps you might want to consider researching publishers who HAVE already created similar products and seeing if they are interested in what you are doing? It's often easier to piggy-back on something that already has a history than to start from scratch.
For example, we have a series of products called Nemesis, with each installment a collection of themed bad guys. Now you could A. create your own Evil NPC product, handle all of the production costs and art, and try to sell it. or B. pitch me with your idea and see if it fits the series, and let me worry about production costs, art, and trying to sell it.
Ultimately, it depends on it you want to spend more time writing or more time running a business. There are a lot of publishers who already have established product lines similar to your ideas, and you may benefit from their established audiences instead of trying to figure it out on your own.
Particularly if, by your own admission, you have limited experience in publishing. You can learn a bit more about the industry on someone else's dime than stumbling blindly on your own.
