Nice product. Foe Factory (FF) takes the NPC creation rules from Spycraft 2.0 and brings them to d20 modern. The NPC rules from Spycraft 2.0 was in my opinion the shining jewel of the entire book. What has kept me from d20 modern in the past is the NPC creation times could be time consuming. Well now with Foe Factory that time will be cut significantly. So how does it stack up?

The Good: The price is well worth the product. Four bucks gets you about 18 pages. With it you are able to create a wide variety of NPCs from zombies to thugs to harpies. Most important you can create them fast. What else is great is that you can create generic NPCs (ie. Terrorists, bodyguards) and you never have to add levels or to them to be a challenge as the player characters gain power. The system is that great. What's more this product should be able to be used in most of the d20 modern series (d20 past, d20 future, etc)

The Bad: Like mentioned earlier FF is porting over the Sycraft 2.0 NPC rules to d20 modern. It's not a 100% clean conversion. I suspect that NPCs using this document might be a little underpowered when compared to standard d20 modern NPCs. This is due to some rule differences between d20 modern and Spycraft 2.0. Granted I have not been able to playtest this theory yet. Another nitpick is a lot of theNPC options from Spycraft 2 didn't make the port over, and I'm not exactly sure why.

The Ugly: There appears to be no way to make magic using NPCs with this system.

Conclusion: FF is a great product for all the reasons listed above. The nitpicks I listed I would say are small roadbumps rather than product killing flaws.
