    Pretty cool.

    You might want to do a Folks Folio someday.
    I couldn't find stats for flagellants, pilgrims or prophets ;-)

    Pretty neat, but the hit point totals seem to be mainly for post-Supplement 1 games. In Swords & Wizardry: Whitebox, for instance, a 4th level fighter has 4D6 of hit points, for an average of 14 hit points, compared to the 21-25 given similar level fighters in the Monsterless Manual. Still, that's a minor complaint at best, as the whole thing seems like it would be very useful.

    Very nice sir!
    As I was flipping through it I though it'd be great if there was a chart for personalities as well and 'lo there was!
    Good job!

    Scariest Monster Manual ever. Thanks.

    And no, that wasn't a joke. IMO Humans are the scariest things going.

    Not bad at all...could use "knight, robber," "ratcatcher," "pot boy," and "lamp lighter," as well as "beggar, pickpocket" (aka gypsy). And what...no town crier?

    Oh...and where's the random table?
    ; )

    (great job, really!)

    What a great idea, and an excellent execution to boot. You had me at digest format though.

    Are you looking for suggestions on other types that could be in there?

    If so - witch.

    Love it!

    I'd have used a multi-column layout for the last few pages with the table.
