When I look at 76 Patrons I can find a plot hook which can be made into a gaming session for my group. There's enough details and ideas there for me to get started. When I look at 760 Patrons, I get quirky, unstatted NPCs who may have something which, if I work at it could be turned into a...

I'd have called it 760 NPC overviews. I don't find the stuff in there fleshed out enough to be patrons by any means. Since they don't even bother with stats, it's not even full NPCs. I think it's pretty much a lazy effort of a book, and regret buying it. The depth of the ideas presented are so...

Maybe I'm missing something in reading 760, but most of the contacts in 760 give just a minor quirk of the 'patron' not an actual job. I don't find them to be even vaguely comparable.

I suppose I was just looking for something else when I bought it. The handy little short adventure ideas you got in 76 Patrons was (and is) very valuable to me. A bunch of unstatted NPCs who have odd quirks, not so much.

Is it just me, or was this book a severe disappointment? I bought it on the expectation that it would be like 76 Patrons from the olden days, but it was nothing like it. In fact I get pretty much no use whatsoever from it. I still get plenty of use from the original 76 instead.

I ran a portion of Belt Strike for my group. It was just the first part where they go to the mining platform. The rest of it wouldn't have been appropriate for how the campaign generally runs. The part I used was fine though.
