Interesting! This is going to require a deep dive...

I loaded this add-on to my library game. Very nice assortment of NPCs. Some of them need minor tweaking for how I like NPCs to be set up, but that's situational for just me (for example, I like to separate the attacks for versatile weapons (1-handed & 2-handed) instead of combining them). A lot of these can be either used "as-is" or duplicated and altered to create generic NPC types that aren't offered in the current compendiums.

I haven't yet delved too much into the included adventure, but I like the list of recommended changed to adjust the challenge rating.

Very cool reward, thank you! I like the archetypes and the art, looks inspiring, I'm looking forward to implementing it in the games.

I have an account on the Dungeon Masters Guild.  How do I get this product on the DMG?  I don't see it in my account there, just the option to buy it.

Hey Robert, the sync is a manual process that our team will execute after the current claim period ends. You can expect a copy in your DMG library the week of May 6.

Is there a chance there will be some non-D&D stuff in the future?

How about things for Sci Fi, Post Apocalyptic, or Horror campaigns? Things like maps, tokens, or adventures. Or Token Borders/Frames that may be appropriate for any game system or genre/multi-genre. I appreciate the D&D stuff because I can (in most cases) use it in just about any fantasy game (I don't play D&D) with a little conversion effort, but it would be nice to have stuff that's not Fantasy, too.
