Nah, no laughter from those in the know. The code on that side is more a repository than an actual usable extension. Even those vaguely familiar with extensions might have struggled to get it working - I needed to package it up properly, add a <ruleset> tag, etc..
Attached is a workable file. Put it in your <FG app data>\extension directory and select it for a 5E campaign (it won't be visible to any other campaigns). The extension name is "5E Extension - NPC flavors".Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Thanks, Trenloe. I completely missed the point of your previous post where you mentioned someone needed to package the extension up. I didn't intend to create more work from you. You do so much for this community and I am extremely grateful. I will put this to use right away so that it does get used! Thanks again.

Sorry Gwydion there is a download as a zip file option on that link/site. Choose that and rename the .zip as .ext and place it in your \extensions folder which can be accessed fr the Explorer icon on the FG splash screen.

That doesn't actually work, as it creates the data within the ZIP in a folder, so FG can't read the extension - the usual FG extension/module/ruleset gotcha. And, secondly, the extension.xml file doesn't have a <ruleset> tag, so FG won't display it.
Hence why I said above "Even those vaguely familiar with extensions might have struggled to get it working - I needed to package it up properly, add a <ruleset> tag".Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Of course Trenloe is correct here. I did the download last night and tested before posting the link but it turns out I already had an unpacked copy in my folder which is why I thought that just renaming it worked without me peeking inside. Use Trenloes link!

Hey, Trenloe. FYI, I did load it in the correct folder (with the rest of my extensions) and I see it in my files and when I launch a campaign I can select it. However, It doesn't seem to do anything when I load an encounter in the combat tracker (checking to make sure there are multiple enemies of the same type). I also notice when FG first launches and I see all the extensions loaded in the chat window, I don't see any description of the extension as I do with all the other extensions that load.
Also, it might be nothing, but the name of the extension when I download from your link is "npc-flavors-master.ext", not "5e Extension - NPC flavors". Is it possible the link is to the incorrect file? Thanks for working on this!Last edited by Gwydion; September 8th, 2016 at 13:33. Reason: spelling

Create an encounter and drag a Goblin in. Change it to 10 goblins and then use the arrow to load the encounter into the CT...
Whats with the spelling Trenloe?

Ahhh.. Got it. I was just loading an encounter, making sure there were multiple of the same monsters (ie. 10 goblins) and then using the arrow to load into the CT. The piece I missed was having to clear out the encounter and re-drag in the monster and update the numbers. Thanks, damned! This will be a cool feature for when there are multiple monsters. Will be fun to use.
