An Inconvenient Inventory in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and is long enough with enough different sections that these would have been useful. The Table of Contents covers the various sections and subsections, and is technically hyperlinked but the links are broken. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. Bar the map, there are no illustrations apart from one duplicated from the cover. Presentation is okay.
This adventure will only work in a very high magic world, one where magic is common enough that magic items are created for money in large enough bulk that they can be shipped through a warehouse. The company the characters work for has some, possibly not coincidental, similarities to something like Amazon, as well as being a shady operation. The adventure itself primarily consists of dealing with an accident with incoming goods which could be very dangerous for low level characters, and then dealing with the aftermath.
