[QUOTE="Rel, post: 817613, member: 99"] I've run and am currently playing in a city campaign. Most of the stuff I'd recommend has already been touched on above. But one little snag that seems to come up frequently in city games is what I term the "Let the police handle it" problem. Almost inevitably, the party will wind up going against some group of evil-doers. These evil-doers are...well...doing evil. This evil they're doing is probably also illegal. There could easily come a point where the party feels overwhelmed and the obvious solution seems to be to turn the matter over to the local constabulary and let them help, if not take over entirely, battling the evil-doers. There are lots of ways of leveraging the party out of doing this. But remember that if you lean on the party or paint a picture of a place where the police "don't want to get involved", then it's tough to later have the cops come down on the party when they start a bar fight or a building accidentally gets burned down.
