20 Things #61: Ghostly Hauntings (System Neutral Edition) in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with major and minor sections linked. The Contents is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is decent. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a number of black and white illustrations. Presentation is decent.
Though most in the 20 Things range do not consist of d20 tables, they do consist of tables. This is one of those that differs greatly even from the average, being a collection of detailed descriptions of ghosts. It may be intended to be system neutral, but it is definitely aimed at Dungeons & Dragons and related systems. 20 Things #61: Ghostly Hauntings (System Neutral Edition) is a useful collection of ghosts that can be used for a variety of purposes and it can be found by clicking here.
