Yin Yang Panda – Warlords & Warlocks in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and has enough sections that these would have been useful. The Table of Contents covers the major sections. Navigation could be better. The text is one column format in some parts, but the adventure seeds section is three columns and landscape, and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
This is a useful collection of villains for the game, though given how lightweight the system is, they could also be adapted to other games by adding some stats. The generator tables are also useful for creating ideas for more villains. Yin Yang Panda – Warlords & Warlocks is a decent little supplement and it can be downloaded for free by clicking here.
