This is a really nice type of product: a fully-conceived and illustrated adventure location, complete with inhabitants and a backstory, but easily customizable and completely system-independent. Read through the descriptions, print and assemble the battlemap, drop in appropriate monsters from your favorite system, and you’re ready to go! The product’s main weakness, on the other hand, is the mixture of artistic styles on the battlemap, where harsh black lines clash with photorealistic textures, and the attempt to use Photoshop beveling to make the water appear recessed actually has the opposite effect, making it appear “puffy.” For only $3.95, however, you can probably overlook these relatively minor aesthetic flaws.
