[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9710826, member: 6879661"] So if you want some sourcebooks for cities and city adventures you can’t go wrong with WFRP 4e. It’s a different system to D&D but close enough fantasy that you could convert the locations. They put a huge amount of effort into making the cities come to life with both settings and adventures. Altdorf: Heart of the Empire. Salzenmund: City of Salt and Silver Middenheim: City of the White Wolf All have a chunky 200+ page sourcebook detailing the city factions and most importantly dozens and dozens of plot hooks and adventure ideas. The WFRP4e starter set details the City of Ubersreik with a decent length opening adventure and about a dozen further adventure outlined. Then there are 3 anthologies called Ubersreik Adventures 1, 2 & 3 that are largely centered around that single city. They are cracking adventures and very original and intriguing. Enemy in Shadows is a brilliant adventure which details a mysterious secret society taking over a city. Power Behind the Throne details a plot to usurp rulership of a major city. The three part, 2nd edition campaign Paths of the Damned: Ashes of Middenheim, Spires of Altdorf and Forged of Nuln details three city led adventures. They even have a thriving Dwarven City in Lords of Stone and Steel and an Elf city described in Wardens of Cothique which is quite unique. All in all, if you want high quality urban setting and adventures that are very different to the typical dungeon crawl you will find a heck of a lot to mine in WFRP. In D&Dish systems. Then I heartily recommend Curse of the Crimson Throne by Paizo, Waterdeep Dragonheist and Keys from the Golden Vault. I’ve mashed up all three into an urban heist campaign I’m running in Waterdeep and it’s going brilliantly. Waterdeep also has the well detailed Undermountain beneath its street with updates for every edition of D&D. There is also a setting guide for every edition including the great Volo’s Guide to Waterdeep for fans of nostalgia. [/QUOTE]
