Sjafta, The Abandoned Iron Mine in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be mostly free of errors. There are a variety of stock black and white illustrations, as well as the map.
This is a straightforward enough adventure, though it has dangers. If it’s played as part of a campaign setting, the characters’ actions will have consequences; though it’s in the same setting as the publisher’s other supplements, this could be changed, primarily by changing the mine’s history.
