Frontier Justice in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and is long enough with enough different sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a single column format and appeared to be almost free of errors. Bar the map and covers, there are no illustrations. Presentation is okay.
The various NPCs are gone into in more detail than needed; bar a few important ones, it would have sufficed for most just to have a few stat blocks and names. The mission is comparatively simple; head to a village and bring back a target, though the lack of cooperation from the locals will be an issue. Frontier Justice can be found by clicking here.
