Hazards: Alien Hazards in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is adequate. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
This is a collection of six new hazards for Starfinder, some more dangerous than others, some with potential utility. It’s also interesting that two pairs of the hazards are connected to each other. Hazards: Alien Hazards can be found by clicking here.
