[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7666333, member: 15582"] Yeah, that would be what I meant by an Iconic City/Campaign book. These seem to work best when every location has one or two mini-adventures, a few adventure hooks and some notable NPCs. For a change of pace, some mini-adventures are blown out into D&D players would recognize as a Dungeon Magazine sized module (like a prisoner rescue or heist gone wrong.) On top of that there would be several "Campaign Turning Points" adventures that have triggers "Player get's X item, the party is X levels now and etc." So these set ups work best where you have lots of locations and a reason for the PCs to go sandboxing, like exploring a new urban environment, working a trade route or a string of hidden bases that need patrolling. That's why I thought two such books would be best. I think just a city book, while it could work, has a focus that would be more narrow than D&D fans would expect. And you know how we loved to grumble when something doesn't meet our expectations. [/QUOTE]
