Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crothian" data-source="post: 2011149" data-attributes="member: 232">Powers that Be    This is an interesting PDF.  The short of it is this PDF is all about a city council. It has the NPCs written up and described.  It has pictures of them for the players as well as a simple cheat sheet for the DM to reference.  It has a palace fully detailed, and makes some assumptions about the city it is in.  There are plots with all the members as they all have goals and motives.      The Powers that Be is a PDF by EN Publishing.  It comes in a zip file a little over four megs in size.  Inside are four files.  There is a small text file that includes the contents of the zip as well as some simple printing instructions.  Then there is the half meg pdf of the cover of the book.  Next at a little over one and half megs is the bulk of the book, a seventy-seven page description of it all.  And lastly at a bit under two and half megs are the character cards.      Powers that Be is well book barked and has a great layout.  The cover art is a is a bit of faux leather with a stylistic piece of art of a councils chamber.  It is very fitting to the subject matter.  The interior art is pretty average, but has pictures of the peoples in the book.  There is also a palace fully mapped out.      The meat of the product is the council members.  It is designed for the players to interact with them.  Each council member has a a picture and description that is designed to be printed out on good card stock.  This allows the picture to be seen by the players and the info to be folded behind to stand up and allow the dungeon master to reference These can be used either as stand up or placed over the top of a DM’s screen.      This is basically a role playing supplement.  There are rules and advice for how the councilors will react to things and vote on issues.  There is a prestige class and some new uses for old skills, but aside from that this product is a description of the councilors and their palace they interact in.  The palace if good sized having over a hundred and ten rooms all fully described.      For someone who has need for city councilors that players will interact with a decent amount this is a good product.  I feel it is a little limited in scope and could have been expanded on in a few areas.  For instance there are some good plot ideas in here, but I felt that there were many more options that could have been used for plots and expanding the plots presented here.</blockquote>
