City-States of Adventure

Besides HOME, also in this space would be Stonetop. It comes up often for this kind of scenario!

That sounds cool

I love the concept of Kingmaker. I've looked at picking up the book a few times.

Is it available for anything other than Pathfinder?

yes, there is a 'bestiary' book for 5e as well which contains the stat blocks for 5e

Even if my opinions are not popular to our august Morrus, I stand by what I say.

Bored now. I’m not playing your childish games. Grow up.

Take a week off. If you come back, learn some manners. If you don’t come back, I probably won’t notice.

That sounds cool

It is! It’s more an entire game, but the Steading as its own entity + tons of improvements to set as goals and drive play/expeditions out is very cool.

World's Largest City does a lot very similar to CSIO, except in 3.5 D&D, tons and tons of detailed locations and NPCs across 12 city districts, over 700 pages of city setting detailing.

I find it a bit overwhelming.

The drawback to WLC is that it is a poor quality scan, so its usefulness is much reduced. On the plus side, its on sale.

I would like to use this thread for a parallel request:

Are there any city books where the main focus is high society, nobles, masked balls, political intrigue,...?

Fine by me.

If others can use the thread to find products, that's a net win for the community.

I do. It's got a few dual stats for 5E and Cypher, but in practice, that just means a paragraph in the sidebar describing the keywords to use to create the content in Cypher. There's also some additional full page pieces of art, which is nice (presumably because they don't need all the space for 3E stat blocks). As far as I can recall, there's no other significant changes.

There were also a number of new adventures published for the 5E edition, so if you play Ptolus, it's worth picking those up.

They also revised a few of the 3E adventures, like Banewarrens, to 5E. But in a pre-OGL crisis move, they stripped out some of the WotC IP, so there's a spot in the Banewarrens with an obvious umber hulk, but they use the name of a monster from their Planebreaker book. I just said that was the dwarven name for the traditional D&D monster, but it did give me a second of puzzlement.

I went back and looked at the Home link you had shared.

I may pick that up.

Not long ago, I bought something similar: Sandbox Generator

I haven't gotten around to using it yet. The main downside that the product has is that it has a specific climate (temperate European-ish) in mind for what it is written to generate. Still, I'm happy with the purchase. I have a few ideas for it.

I would say to look to games in later periods. Flashing blades is focused on that trope. 7th Seas has more than most.
