D20 Cities books

[kenjib]

There is background material so that a character from the city can know everything there is to know about being a typical (or not so typical) person from this city. Such things as what kind of social faux pas can lead to a duel in the piazza vendetta, or the proper behavior as a guest during meals, the social pecking order and where various adventurer types might fit in, how funerals are conducted, where retired sailors might find a comfortable place to sleep and be taken care of in their old age, theatre, music, art, and of course mysteries and intrigue.

I wish more books focused on this stuff. They usually seem to focus on people and places, but ignore all of the culture despite the fact that those are the kinds of details you actually need to use from session to session (moreso than a million NPCs and locations of which you will only use a handful). Sounds fantastic!

Hey, don't forget the award nominated Foul Locales: Urban Blight which has a set of plug-in urban locations for d20! These are highly detailed and "should" plug in to almost any d20 city.
