Has anyone thought of doing a Supplement for Adventuring, Urban Style

For a while I used the Catelogue of Faerun book that listed all types of junk in it from mould for backhoes to fine quality underclothes It worked well for its purpose but it to falls short.

Have you been hacking my system?

The forthcoming Cities:Born in Stone from Otherworld creations, written by, ahem, me, includes pretty much *exactly* that. Notes on the standard races and classes in the city. Markets and coinage. Rarity of items. LOTS of 'new uses for old skills' in the urban environment. History of cities, from Sumer to the distant future. Formulas for determining how much farmland you need to support that ubercity of 1 million people. Spells. Rules for combat in narrow alleys or on ledges above the crowded streets. "And much, much, more!"

Sorry for the utterly shameless plug, but I see every OTHER reply is also a plug, and this IS the industry forum, so....

Plug away, that's pretty much the purpose of this forum.

So, what hard data can you give on this? Expected Release date, page count, who's the publisher, etc. This sounds like an excellent book and I really look forward to seeing it.

I actually got my hands on two moudles I thought were good for adventuring urban style. Sword of Justice and The Eldest Son. I enjoyed the latter more than the former as I thought the former had some racial concepts that I just didn't agree with. The uniqueness of the city laws, curse, and new race also made Sword of Justice a little harder to simply add to a campaign. While the Eldest Son was also in it's own city/world setting, the lack of a map and the fairly standard atmosphere of the city made it much easier to customize. The art was much better too.

It's going to be published by Otherworld. Release date/page count, I don't know... the full first draft has been delivered, and now they're in the editing/staring in abject horror stage.
