City and Town supplements

[danhem]

Well, my quest for Larm has ended for now. Does anyone have any suggestions for good city/town supplements with an ODnD feel? Preferably those available in PDF format. For that matter, does anyone know if the Judges Guild supplement Verbosh is available as a PDF anywhere; RPGnow is strangely lacking that one.

Here's a link to 4 pregenerated towns from Midkemia Press. I started looking at it today, so I haven't digested it,
but it doesn't look bad.

I don't know from "OD&D feel," but Cityscape is quite possibly the best, most useful sourcebook WotC put out for D&D 3.x, and has a ton of cities in it that are awesomely usable for just about any game.

...though they pulled their PDFs, didn't they?

Thanks for the link Ragnorakk. That is an excellent resource; I'm definitely going to put it to use in my campaign.

Yes, the loss of the WotC pdfs was pretty disappointing. I didn't even get a chance to complete my collection of the OD&D supplements.

That sucks! Which ones are you missing, dan?

There are also these from Midkemia (if you are in the states) for 5$ each. Not sure what Joneril is like but Cities is a great reference. Most of it was reworked for Thieves World. It's a shame they're not selling the 'City of Carse' that's a decent Old School city.

The City State of Zothay is stat-light enough and old school enough to be useful for OD&D, is in PDF, and available free from www.judgesguild.com/fans/index.html. Also includes several adventure hooks, rumours, random encounter charts, a description of nearby islands, sample caravans and three mini-dungeons.

Whether it is good I can't say reliably, but my players and a number of online people sure liked it. You be the judge.

Here's a one-page city PDF:

Samurbia, City of Scheming Swords

but Enharza in the current issue of Fight On is the best thing I've seen in ages, along with the Swords & Wizardry City Encounters tables
