[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 1929907, member: 24969"] I could see one for what anybody with no skill points would reasonably know or could be told by a passing traveller. Another for those with skill points. For anything else, I think it would be too dependant on what the party actually does while in the city and discovered in game. There are too many different paths for parties to take and too many different ways a DM might want to run the city. I'd keep the PC info to a minimum to help the DM if he wants it but not cut into the product if he doesn't. Two pages for that. If there was anything more complicated, then for each major NPC, store or feature of the city, have a block of flavor text that could be read to the PCs. Reprint all of these blocks on a sheet or two in the back of the book that could be cut out or photocopied and then chopped up and handed out to the PCs if the DM desired so. perhaps different cards for the such that might have different levels of knowledge to know about them. One card for the inn that is of good quality. When the party discoveres that it is the base of the theives guild they get the next card. Still, i'm not sure I'd ever use such a tool, but if I wanted something besides Dm information to give to the players OOC that I didn't write up myself, I think that would be the way to go. [/QUOTE]
