    How would you make a canal city work as a fantasy RPG setting?

    Canals are for moving goods and there are a number of real world cities that have them and are not a port on a sea or lake. You just need the trade goods that would required them as they would take the place of roads. Birmingham Egland has more miles of canals than Venice. Annecy France is...
