Fat Goblin Gazette #1 in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with the major sections linked. The Content is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is decent. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of error. There are a number of colour illustrations. Presentation is good.
The problem with this supplement is that it is essentially an ad for the publisher’s supplements, and an ad that needs paying for. Yes, there are some useful things in Sir Reginald’s Latest Works, but that’s pretty much it. This is the sort of supplement that should have been free, in order to encourage people to buy the complete supplements. Instead, it’s paid for which means that if something is liked, it has to be bought again. Even a bundle including this would have been better. On its own, this is not worth getting.
