[QUOTE="Mr. Beef, post: 3244862, member: 44124"] I may be asking a really stupid question, but what in the world is Ptolus? From what I have been able to pick up off the various message boards I'm on, it seems to be a large setting book of some sort that takes place in a city. Does anyone have any links to reviews on EN World or anywhere else that I can read? I looked in the review section of EN World and there's a six month gap between the end of 2005 and June 2006 where there's no reviews. Did Ptolus come out during that time and EN World did not have any reviews of it or lost it because of some sort of computer crash? I found one review on RPG.net, but it lacks any description of the flavor of the setting. How about comparisions to Worlds Largest City [WLC]? Is WLC even out yet? Amazon has WLC on sale for 37% off but you will have to wait 4-6 weeks to get it shipped. Ptolus looks like it might be a good setting to run characters in, but at $120 that's quite a hefty price to pay. Have any of you played in either Ptolus and/or Worlds Lagest City? What's it like? As an aspiring DM, I like to make my adventures more urban based. I've never been in a Dungeon Crawl the times I've played D&D 3.0/3.5 as a PC had lots of city intregue though. Thanks in advance.
