[QUOTE="prodigyxss, post: 2444842, member: 33199"] NPC Files is a new page pdf line from Expeditious Retreat Press detailing one npc by giving him a story and then smattering the rest of the pages with statblocks of him from level 1-20. When I first saw that Expeditious Retreat Press made this, I immediatly thought back to their prized and well known A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. So I eagery anticipated this as another well written piece of work. But as I was skimming through it before I started to read it, all I saw were huge statblocks and this made me cry for I wanted more than that. It does come with well written story about him though, which they could have made longer than the statblocks. Rungie Rampholean is a 22 page pdf detailing his life and stats. Rungie is a gnome rouge/wizard who just loves traps and adventures anywhere he can to find new and devious traps to take notes on, construct, and then publish it in his famous book. Thats not all of his story of course, but lets just say he loves traps. His story was really the only thing "I" liked about the pdf as it was very interesting to me. Rungie is also created to be more of a realistic npc and not a min/maxed version. I could see rungie as a good reocurring ally or villain. All I can say is that if you need a gnome rouge/wizard, then this pdf is for you. I think the npc files would be better if they didnt put all of the stats from 1-20, but outlined changes in the text, if they had a few more illustrations even though the cover art was well done, and if they expanded and made their stories longer as I liked Rungie's story.
