"As someone who struggles with making characters that fit within the backgrounds in the Players Handbook, this guide was exactly what I needed. The book opens with tips and options for how your character became what they are, and how/why the party was introduced- and from there is a detailed breakdown of possible new backgrounds, character traits/flaws to match, even new cantrips! These additions give new life to the current somewhat stale character choices, and I only wish it had existed before my current campaign! I bought two copies on the kickstarter and I highly recommend this to anyone wishing to add a bit more flavor to their characters. It's well worth it."
