20 Things #6: Ancient Necropolis (System Neutral Edition) in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with major and minor sections linked. The Contents is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are several pieces of black and white stock art. Presentation is decent.
This is one of the more thematic entries in the series, although it’s not just suited to a necropolis; many of the tables would work well for graveyards, crypts, mausoleums and other places used to inter the dead, making this more broadly useful, especially as places for the dead are common in fantasy games. 20 Things #6: Ancient Necropolis (System Neutral Edition) can be found by clicking here.
