It is not necessary to have purchased the Strongholds document in order to use this. This product can stand on its own as a way to quickly stock a marketplace.

The epic merchants in particular are very amusing and will likely be over represented in my games. In particular I like the Fey Bargain and Needful Things merchants. Having a way to generate supernatural bargains on the fly is immensely helpful!

Invaluable timesaver, very professional presentation, and excellent design logic. Easily one of the best supplements on DMsguild. I use it constantly.

An expansion for what I consider to be the best homebrew supplement in D&D? YES PLEASE!

Adding traders and merchants to the stronghold guide allows players to really start making money. If you're running a "West Marches" style game, I'd consider these to be essential books.

This is one of the best supplements I have ever downloaded! Loads of inspiration for shopkeeps and merchants of all kinds, plus really interesting story hooks and from the magical traders, if a dm looking to add some flavour to your retail encounters, this is a must buy

This is a fantastic document. There is a lot of great information in here, with links back to the proper books when possible. There are some great quick build tables and some fun stuff cover oddities and powerful magics. Its lacking a contents page, which make it clunky to find things onthe fly, but thats a minor issue for how great the rest of the book is.

I would suggest adding a table of contents for easier navigation and quick find book marks for the PDF i also think you could easily charge for this instead of PWYW. This is easily worth the 5$ of your suggested price.

The format was easy to navigate and the content is fun. I look forward to using this in my game

Added some cool flesh to the merchant npcs . My players loved the content.

A five-star addition to a five-star product. This supplement and the author's Stronghold supplement have completely changed our campaign. The players are almost if not more interested in running their property as they are in adventuring...

This is, quite simply put, one of the best products I've seen on DMs Guild. I've seen plenty of tables to generate merchants (and the stuff that they're carrying), but none have been put together with the obvious care and effort that has gone into this. It's 35 pages of great writing and beautiful art, and it's an excellent addition to any game.

Traders & Merchants contains tables to use in generating any kind of merchant you could possibly think of, from magic item salesmen, spicers, fashion merchants, and even astral travellers with a host of strange magic items. There's a section you can use to generate personalities and characteristics, presented in much the same way as the backgrounds from the Player's Handbook, a ton of charts for loads of different types of merchants of varying levels of wealth and quality, and a really interested section on unique, Legendary Merchants. You'll even find a lot of new magic items in here, some of which are really interesting.

This has already made its way into my game, and I fully recommend you check it out.
