Years ago when Judges Guild was the only alternative to TSR my brother picked up the original CSotIO. He lost it and about 7 years ago I went online and purchased another copy for him. Some of the best games I have ever played in were/are ones run by my brother in this city. Now JG, partnered with Necromancer, has published an updated version of this City Setting. I looked through the book and I liked some things especially the shops, taverns, et. al. have much more information and the societal levels are real handy to have. However, I have a few questions:
1. I didn't see a players map to the city, only a DMs copy. The orginal had both. Perhaps the copy I was looking at was missing the player's map. Should there be a player's map?
2. I hate to say it but the old pebble stock is much more endurable than the paper weight of the maps at the end of the book. How have you protected them from wear and tear? They are so thin and will easily wear out in no time.
3. What other advantages, if any, does the new have over the old? (Other than it has been converted to 3.5)
Anything else that you could add will be appreciated. I'm seriously thinking of getting this for my brother.
