The supplement is available as a 7-page PDF for $1.75 from DriveThruRPG but was purchased at a reduced price thanks to a special offer. The supplement comes in two versions, a plaintext file and a PDF. Two pages are the front and rear covers, two pages are ads and about half a page is the front matter and Contents.
Using this Urban Locale is a standard piece explaining how to use the lists and what each list covers. This is followed by a brief paragraph on wizard’s towers, then the d10 lists.

Urban Locale #04: Wizard’s Tower in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with the various sections linked. The Contents is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is adequate.
This supplement has ten ways to make a wizard’s tower more distinct. The contents are only really suitable for giving some kind of overview rather than covering the tower of a major wizard; in such cases, the GM will need to flesh out the descriptions more. For a wizard the characters may not spend much time interacting with, this is useful. Urban Locale #04: Wizard’s Tower can be found by clicking here.
