Citybook I: Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

ADD TO WISHLIST >

25 City-based establishments with over 75 fully-described non-player characters, and scenario suggestions for use with any role-playing system. This book won Flying Buffalo its very first Origins Award in 1982. Maps, portraits, descriptions; everything you need. This book established that you COULD have a GM book that is genuinely for ANY Fantasy Role Playing System, and not just thinly disguised for one particular system. All the descriptions and mechanics are in generic terms so it will fit in with whatever campaign system you are using.

Well. I bought this, and found that it is a scan with a worn cover and stains on the scanned pages from coffee, soda or some sort of thing. That is ok, but my original copy that I have had for over 35 years - almost 40 years has fewer stains and the cover is in better condition. I guess that I would have expected a nicer scan.

I have the vintage HC of these and they are the best! Do not run any city setting game until you read Citybook I.

Happy happy joy joy! I've been using the Citybooks since they were first published! Alas, over the years they've taken a beating and a few of them have vanished as sacrifices to the gods of moving. I'm looking forward to enjoying them in the form of inconvenienced electrons as much as I did when they were dead trees.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
