Are your fantasy towns just places to rest? Does your heart sink when faced with creating a fresh and original town or city?Welcome to the Fantasy Town series, a new development in fantasy role playing aids.Each book in the series outlines a unique urban setting filled with interesting characters. The books detail a host of townsfolk along with 20 incidents in which they're involved. A governing structure and method of policing is given for each town.The towns are designed as a collaboration between the author and the Game Master. They have no names or maps, so they can be fitted into existing campaigns, and they are independent of any particular game rules, although basic fantasy themes are assumed. The characters and towns are highly adaptable and suggestions are given for possible development. The only limit is your imagination.In Mishaps, Miscreants & Marital Upsets you will find a friendly town with very little violence or serious crime. There is a certain amount of petty crime, which is inadequately dealt with by an inefficient and excessively laid back Civil Watch. The latter is represented by the two watchmen Gavin and Tyce, who reappear throughout these incidents. At the moment, their two most difficult cases involve the inept thief Didier, and a man known only as the Town Flasher.The town is run by a council of citizens, membership of which is based upon wealth and alliances. Despite this somewhat nepotistic approach, the council does its best for all the townsfolk and provides a certain amount of civil relief for the poorest. The town council is represented herein by Fortune Lascelles, who is a member by virtue of his wife's money and social rank.P. A. Johnson has been a Game Master for over 30 years. Her game of choice is Dungeons & Dragons, which she has played in every incarnation apart from 4th edition. Getting bored with two dimensional towns, she started introducing 'irrelevant' events and found her players enjoyed interacting with the locals on a mundane level. Suddenly they felt at home and started becoming part of the town. The Fantasy Town series is her attempt to offer this experience to a wider audience.
