20 Things #64: On the Road (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 few black and white illustrations. Presentation is fine.

The 20 Things range rarely has 20 things in their tables, but this is one that is more inaccurately titled than most. It does have plenty of ways to enliven a journey, and some of the results don’t have to be on the road either, 4 and 5 in particular. 20 Things #64: On the Road (System Neutral Edition) is a decent little supplement for adding flavour to a journey and it can be found by clicking here.
