Cities and Settlements

[Jungger]

I was looking through the site just now and I came across Cities and Settlements. What grabbed me at first is the cover - I think it's very well done - anyone know who did it?

I did a quick search but I am just interested in peoples opinions. I am normally not interested in d20 but some stuff from TLG is d20 lite. I will be ordering CZ:UW for my brother soon and I may add this to it.

I'll check when I get home in an in the next hour or two. That is assuming no one else answers before I do.
It's a pretty cool supplement though.

I found it to be good. I especially liked the NPC's and adventure hooks they gave me.

My problem is I have so many good books/modules that give me similar, that it would take me decades of running games to get through them all.

Cities & Settlements is a decent supplement to use with FPRGs, and is indeed d20 Lite enought that you can use it with C&C with absolutely no problems. The best aspect of the Cities & Settlements book is the unique nature of the areas described. Most of the settlements described are far more then just a basic, everyday description. In (almost) each entry, there is unique flavor invested into the description. Which makes the book a bit more valuable then the rest on this subject.

But according to the book, it's someone called David Monette (credited as 'Cover Artist')

It's a good book though -- and since it bears the d20 logo, I'd get it through TLG if they still have it in stock. It's hard to argue against the $10 price tag.

Thanks for the help, all. I will probably end up getting it - hard to go wrong for 10 bucks.

Cities and Settlements is a really good supplement. I've ripped no less than three settlements from it and made them my own. I had to change a lot of details but the resource is a wonderful idea mine. Anyone who doesnt have World Builder should add it to their short list before it's unavailable, that's my go to book for every single session.

Thanks BD,

I wanted to get World Builder when I ordered Living Fantasy not too long ago but unfortunately, they're all gone. I have searched in my area for it but so far no luck. I think Amazon is selling them so I may end up getting it there.

You bet. If you can, get one. You won't be dissapointed. It's far less useful to players than DMs but I hope that goes without saying.
