101 City Encounters

 This past week I received A Strange Night at the Pint'n'Pony and 101 City Encounters from Studio 9 Games. Both are quality DCC products that were Kickstarted, but today I'm going to talk about 101 City Encounters.

The book is 19 pages of urban gaming goodness. I love the Emrikol inspired cover done by C. Aaron Kreader (who also did the entire artwork. 

101 City Encounters introduces a new Fame and Infamy system related to many of the encounters. PC actions will affect these scores positively or negatively. There are several types of fame to track. Town, Guild, Noble, and Holy are all varieties. Each temple has it's own Holy score. The Judge is encouraged to customize these to the factions in their game. There is an awesome illustrated Infamy & Reputation Tracker at the end of the book. 

The encounters themselves are all well written an interesting. I love this and if The Lone Bards ever release a city source book, there will be a section in it like this book. Honestly, while written for DCC, I recommend this for any fantasy game that takes place in a city. 

This book makes me wish Goodman Games would release a Punjar DCC boxed set. I don't play Lankhmar and Punjar seems to be the only urban DCC setting that's appeared more than once.
