It's not obvious from the listing, but this map includes the areas from free maps #1, 2, and 3. Looks like there will eventually be some additional material to the left side of this map too. It's a nice town map though, certainly usable if you are willing to assign identities to the buildings as needed. And can't beat the price.

Detailed description of an inn with a simple encounter. Descriptive information of the interior with maps. Includes details on 4 NPCs, 1 with stats and stats for 1 monster.
Great little addition that can fit into any campaign or town of DMs choosing and can easily be tweaked to fit your needs.
Looking for more like this to add to my campaign settings.

I'm excited to use this in my next session. I think it will expand my story and town dramatically.

This is a very good story hook/twist. I haven't used this yet, but I'm excited to put this to use.

I love the Essential Fantasy Geography books. I've used many maps already in my current campaign. I like showing the players what their characters see. Even though the art is B&W, they are still excellent visual aids.

Why Review a Free Product?
It will still cost you some time to read and some ink to print if you choose. I'd like to know if it's worth it and I thought someone else might as well.
Physical Product
This is a 7 page PDF in a two-column format that makes it easy to read on a phone. I appreciate that.
Pros
Excellent illustrations of the exterior of the inn and the interior map/floor plans. 5 staff members are described, but only the proprietor is stated. Nice little slice of life Adventure Hook.
Cons
No other character statistics. No statistics for doors, locks, etc. No menu. No operating hours. No description of typical patrons.
Overall
A good product. You'll have to do a little more work to use it, but the map and illustrations definitely make it worth it, and the lack of anything particularly 'gonzo' means it fits a wider variety of game/campaign types. This would make me look at their other products.

This is a 10 page PDF in a two-column format with an easy to read font that makes it easy to read on a phone. I appreciate that.
Pros
Excellent illustration of the outside of the inn and an excellent map. Statistics are given for the proprietor and his special sword. I appreciate that the sword isn't over-the-top, but still still interesting. The 'fantasy' element is limited to an easily replaced stuffed creature. I appreciate the fact that it not obtrusive and easily replaced. The inn is also loosely connected to training caravan guards which is a unique and interesting bit of business.
Cons
No other character statistics. No statistics for doors, locks, etc. No menu. No operating hours. No other staff mentioned except one wench. No description of typical patrons. The inn is connected to the Thieves Guild which makes it a little harder to just 'plop down' this inn anywhere needed.
Overall

Really good place to set an adventure, especially for thieves, though it doesn't have an adventure in itself. Very detailed blueprints, and descriptions.

Much better than other free products. Full descriptions, clear maps, and easy to modify for your own game. There is a bonus in adding the thieves guild in the basement. This could be modified to make the basement a home for your adventurers. The NPCs are fully explained and easy to work into many different types of adventures. Very pleased.

I love good art work, it can make or break any product, as surly as bad editing. The SF map demo from the Forge, is a cool idea. It's a great product, but it only suffers slightly because of the generic nature of the ship in question. The Forge can not use any copyrighted ships that are so iconic to Space Opera gaming. Would it be great to see a X-wing, or a Scout vessels from Traveller, you bet, but sadly that will not happen. However, as inspiration for you own galactic adventures in a huge universe of possibilities, you really can't go wrong with this product from The Forge. Do more please....

Ygrons' Bridge, like all the The Forge products, is beautifully illustrated. I started using the Instant Locations by The Forge and this is the first PDF I purchased with setting information. It did not disappoint. My only complaint is that I can not find the publisher's website.

Waste of my money, the drawings are shabby black and white sketches. From the cover I was expecting some lovely detailed full-colour pictures which would be very immersive. Rubbish, I've had a lot more for the same price from DTRPG.
