A Glint In The Eye in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and is long enough with enough different sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a single column format and some minor errors were noticed. Bar the maps and covers, there are no illustrations. Presentation is okay.
In a way, this is an odd adventure. The mission is to examine the four worlds for resources; the underground complex is irrelevant to that. The characters can ignore it if they don’t wish to explore it. However, it lacks any real dangers and does have some valuable things to loot. A Glint In The Eye can be found by clicking here.
