Town of Brighton in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and is long enough with enough different sections that these would have been useful. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a number of colour illustrations, as well as the map. Presentation is good.
This is a comparatively small settlement, and such are always useful. It’s set in the Shattered Skies Campaign Setting, and is the backdrop for the Whispers of the Dark Mother Mini-Quest path, but with some tweaks, it could be dropped into others without too much trouble. The town is described in a reasonable level of detail, with enough information to have a number of potential adventure hooks, as well as those described in the text. Town of Brighton is a useful little supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
