It took me a while to figure out how that cover was the inspiration for the town map but when it clicked I was like "ahhhh". It does look like there was meant to be a title or name in the blank banner however. I also noticed a column on page 5 that looks like it got cut off so we missed a line of text.
I felt a lot of the references to the Weird Tales submissions were nice and cheeky but not sure how core they really were to the overall product. This is a nice base of operations for a hex crawl game with all the starting amenities you would like. I personally would have liked some more possible overland encounters detailed but I understand the horrors of page count.
