Shrine of the Cabbage God in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with some sections linked. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a few stock colour illustrations as well as the maps. Presentation is okay.
The supplements formatting could have done with a bit of work; the upper and lower levels of the dungeon are separate areas, yet the numbering system continues from one level to the next, and there’s no clear demarcation; by the time the demarcation occurs, the new level has already started as one level blurs into the next, which is a detriment to use. The adventure itself is a straightforward enough adventure; go to a place and essentially loot it whilst dealing with those already doing so. Shrine of the Cabbage God can be found by clicking here.
