Eye of the Storm 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.
Only stats for the shipwreck encounters are provided; the others will need looking up. The adventure itself is simple enough; get to a wreck and find out what happened, dealing with any issues along the way, then report back. This is a straightforward adventure, but has some potential dangers all the same. Eye of the Storm can be found by clicking here.
