Kalistar’s Carpets 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 covers and maps, there are no illustrations. Presentation is okay.
This supplement is what it looks like; a shop that can be dropped into a fantasy city. Though it may not be one the characters might automatically think of visiting, the adventure hooks do give them reason. Kalistar’s Carpets is a useful little shop supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
