Flagship - The Independent Magazine for Gamers

City Guide is a very interesting line of materials. There are three books in the series so far, all with the aim to help you flesh out the merchants and inhabitants of the cities in your world. These books are only available as PDF files, which means they are inexpensive, you don’t have to pay shipping, and delivery only takes as long as a 3-4 Megabyte download. Unfortunately it means you either have to print it out yourself, or lug around a laptop or PDA with the file on it. While it isn’t for everyone, I think this is an excellent way for companies to produce quality products without having to sell thousands of copies just to break even on the printing costs.
