What is your favorite city to base your campaign around?

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

I have a campaign running in the Oathbound Setting in the city of Pennance.

I love (medieval) Rome and I like a city where the ruins actually outspace the inhabitted sections.

Another small gripe while I'm on it. A drawing of the city (Iron Kingdoms, that Gygax city book, a couple others whose names do not leap to mind) is NOT a map of the city. It's almost worse than having no map at all. It's useless. Stop doing it.

OK, one other thing even more useless: A thing that looks at first glance like a city map, but is not. A 'map' that shows the fronts of buildings along the street may seem cute. It's not. A 'map' that combines street-map-like map but has pictures or little drawings for the major features instead of that feature's plan.. stop that.

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. Hear what this man is saying.

DMs need useful city maps - not pretty stylistic pictures.
