Necromancer's City of Brass

[Treebore]

What kind of characters would be fun/good to play in City of Brass? It sounds like characters with good chr type skills would be useful.

I see any style of character having fun staying alive in here. There is plenty of seeds for diplomacy, plenty of combat, pretty much anything can work in the City of Brass. Even a way to become god-like or even a full deity are in here.

I can see putting together a bundle of JPEGs of the maps. I warn you it will be a bit before I get to them tho. I just started teaching High School Graphic Arts class this week, literally the day after getting back from Gen Con. Once I have a handle on all the bookwork pertaining to the position I can sit down and get the maps together. Trust that I was thinking the same thing!

Who knows, maybe if we are super nice to Ed, he will do some e-tiles of some of the more complicated maps (though you'll have to buy them from him of course!)

I built my minaret of screams (yep, built the maps as 3d terrain for my playtest gang, to scale) that was a blast.

That would really be great.

Was Rob Kuntz's City of Brass for Hackmaster a serious book? I heard that it isn't the satire that much of the Hackmaster stuff was and that it was pretty darn good.

The fact that it was called Sir Robilar's City of Brass tells me something about it.

This will hardly answer your question but this is what I remember about it.

I don't have the product but as I, albeit vaguely, remember the Sir Robilars CIty of Brass was planned to be authored by Rob Kuntz but due to some issues it ended up being co-authored by Kuntz and another writer (the cover lists two authors), and the final version contained less of Kuntz's version than originally intended.

Kuntz's own 1e City of Brass adventure has been floating around the internet for years (with his permission I believe).

I have it! Cover art is truly awesome Old Skool (yet in color) and interior art is very good as well. I just started reading it and I have little time in the evenings, so I will probably review it over the weekend. So far, the location names and the ideas that I have skimmed have been solid.

Is this the boxed set? 'Cause it says paperback. If yes it's quite the bargain isn't it...

Well the price matches form what I've seen and the pricture matches the box set that I have. Also the release date is correct.

It is the boxed set, and this is what I paid. It has already been delivered as well.

I bought it for my boyfriend at GenCon and if he is not going to run it for a group with me in it I am going to borrow the books and read them, cause he has been telling me how awesome it is and by reading this thread I realize I need to read this set.

The version on Amazon.com also has preview pages if you want to take a look inside.
