This is put forth as a standalone appendix to an upcoming product, Warlocks of the Realms. As such, it is geared to the Forgotten Realms but could be easily adapted to other settings.
It contains potential patrons from almost a score of different entity types; for example, Archfey, Elder Evils, Demon Princes, Liches, etc. And while they are presented as Warlock patrons they could easily be used for an character involved with a supernatural entity.
While the vast majority of these beings are evil, there are quite a few of good alignment, ranging from celestials to dragons, along with a handful of more neutral entities such as the primal spirits.
Preview : Contains more than enough to get an idea if it is for you.
Attributions : Check.
TOC : Present and hotlinked. Thank you!
Formatting : Good font size, much better than what seems to be the default at DMsG. Somewhat minimal formatting but laid out well. Highly visible page numbers.
Art : Several pieces, all applicable and well used.
Style : Not that relevant as is not presenting stat blocks or rules, but more like min-bios.
Editing : Mediocre. Really needed some proofreading by someone not immersed in the text. If I had paid full price for this I would be upset about it. This brought it down from 4 to 3 stars for me. Oh. I see from the author's website that they do proofreading as a gig. Hmmm.
Number and type of files included : One PDF.
Value : In my opinion, not worth $6 unless you are REALLY into Warlocks and want a lot of possible patrons. Then again, I am not that into Warlocks, so take that into account. As part of a larger bundle that had several things I did want, I do consider it a value though.
I have sent the list of issues I found to the author.
