Writing: The Old Ways and Coastal Characters are probably my favorite. I really like how that whole panel really establishes the feel of the dangerous coast's culture and how people may act there. Conversely, I think the Coastal Adventures (which I'm taking to be suggested hooks) could stand to be reduced to 1-3 more fleshed out hooks, that dip more into suggestions for the Guide/"What's Really Happening".  As is, it feels like each  entry is what you would tell to your players; maybe just a line or two added to your favorite hooks (I like 1, 2, and 3 the most) would set up more scaffolding for the DM to fill in the details of the adventure's premise, and increase utility. 

Purely from design accessibility: I struggled a little with the white font against a textured blue background-- a plaintext version for black and white printing would be rad. It looks great, don't get me wrong, but I have worse vision than the average person. The inside pages (page 2) are much easier for me to see; I think the brown boxes in the table really help. The back page (page 1, center) is the hardest for me to read against the blue gradient; I think you have the space to bump up the font size there or add a box. The white title text on the cover page is also tough for me to read, and a really quick fix for that could be adding black outlines to the white text itself. Not a box that would cover up your lovely setting sun image, but black outlines on the white letters themselves-- most programs should let you do this.


Nice work!

Thank you very much!

The idea of the adventures isn't really to give the Guide a fleshed out - its to set the tone. Ideally I'd love more but space!!! If I do continue with development here I have intentions to flesh out both individual adventures as well as setting guide! Time and interest will tell.

I do understand color concerns (I'm color deficient) and with the official release I will release a printer friendly black and white version.
Thanks for the detailed feedback for the color - I have added a drop down shadow to all the white text over the blue including the title - but obviously I could afford to bump that all up a bit in depth and intensity!
