Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hand of Evil" data-source="post: 1874056" data-attributes="member: 371">Bluffside is good at it because of its layout, location/NPC/Plot hooks then plots for city/orginzations.  Streets of Silver does much the same.Geanavue is very detailed but just lack something in my book, reads like a tech manual to me.  Freeport is fair locations/NPCs/some plot hooks but not on the level of Bluffside.  Thieves Quarter is really an add-on but does flesh things out. Sharn (as I said in one of its threads) is not as detailed on locations, mostly listing districts and wards, not buildings, but went the way of a campaign book.  Rules are there for a DM to build on, plus it has a lot of things a player can get involved with but the DM is going to be doing some work.  City campaigns are no different from dungeons, entering a room is an event.  When you have an event things happen:1) Description: sight and sound of what the players see 2) Action: things happen, monster attacks or players, room is searched, trap is set off, etc...but some form of interaction takes place.  3) RE-Action: results and counters to 2 4) Clean-up and reward: What was the outcome of the event, gold found, wounds taken, clue discovered. 5) Move on: Where does that lead you, in a dungeon that is easy; a door direct the players to the next event.  In a city game it is a clue, the street, the sound of running men but the flow is the same.A dungeon if you notice is just a flow chart, you can do the same with things in your city.</blockquote>
