I enjoy city settings.  Here is a list of a few of the better ones.  Given the shear number of supplements out there, there are a handful more good ones and a very great number more bad/mediocre ones than I list.  I know there are a few more good Dwarf cities that I'm missing, but this is a good list of the best that has been published over time, as I see it.

City State of the Invincible Overlord and if you can find it the old Thieves World boxed set from Chaosium is always good
http://www.thievesworld.info/roleplay/rpg-original.htm

I know for a fact that Lou Zocchi carries around a copy or two of Invincible Overlord in his booth, so if you can catch up with him at a Convention, he'll have it.

Cadwallon, from the RPG of the same name.
Laelith, system neutral, published by the French mag Casus Belli.
Sharn, City of Towers is indeed good.
Chicago by Night 2nd ed is a good recommendation as well. I would add:
Montreal by Night
Constantinople by Night
At least.

Oh yes, definitely Cadwallon. Actually, I'm going to add it to the list above, since I would have listed that one too.  Just bound to forget a few of the better ones.
Of the Vampire ones, I think Requiem for Rome is close to being ok too.
Was Laelith ever  published into a compiled form?  The web based material is pretty great even without a hard copy.

Agreed. Requiem for Rome is great. It's very Requiem centric, and more of a campaign toolkit, less of a gazetteer type supplement as one would expect, but it's really great for what it is.

PS: actually, in the by Night style for the NWoD, World of Darkness: Chicago is impressive as well.

Very much agree.  

Additional:
That list includes only the ones I would call the better ones, with probably a few more that will come to mind that I'll edit add.  There could be two other lists: 1) the mediocre but amusing ones and 2) the actual bad ones.  I'll pass on those lists though. There are a few games that never seemed to produce  a specific city setting focused into a volume, though.  It's odd that a few popular games can produce so much and not one full city supplement.

Quote from: Benoist;523603Sharn, City of Towers is indeed good.

Benoist endorsing an Eberron book? Surely the end must be nigh.

I like it how WW had all sorts of fucked-up story-loving advice in its "how to GM" core book chapters, and then went on to release these awesome city-based, clearly sandboxy setting books.

Chicago By Night is the archetypal one, with Montreal By Night being the "OMG hardcorez" one (Toy FTW) and Constantinople By Night somehow manages to be gonzo and highbrow at the same time. The Prince is an insanely old Toreador Methuselah who believes himself to be transforming into the Archangel Michael. There's a Tzimisce who believes that the blood-borne suparnatural parasite gnawing away at his soul is God. And there's a Ravnos who creates clockpunk robots. It's like they're feeding the storywank non-gamers with one hand, and flipping them a giant bird with the other. Pure gold.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;522170Working in a city adventure campaign and looking for some good modules to use as inspiration. Preferably something that is quality but could have slipped under my radar. Any edition or rules system is fine. Not going to be running the modules, just combing them for good ideas.

Has the kitchen sink approach helped you find a couple that will help for your project?  Is it for Gaius?

Quote from: The Butcher;523646Benoist endorsing an Eberron book? Surely the end must be nigh.

Actually the Eberron line has a lot of good stuff to it, like Five Nations, which I particularly liked. It's not your typical D&D setting that's for sure, but I actually like it, not as the baseline of the game, but as one of these crazy variants like Dark Sun or Spelljammer. Cool.

Quote from: Kuroth;523702Has the kitchen sink approach helped you find a couple that will help for your project?  Is it for Gaius?

This is just for a regular campaign (not for gaius). So far i have some promising leads here and placed spme amazon orders.

Kitchen sink has been helpful in this case I think. City adventure material can come from multiple genres and settings.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;523724City adventure material can come from multiple genres and settings.

Definitely.  Very good to read that there were a few that looked about right.

That's quite the list of city-settings.

It was. First through issues of the magazine Casus Belli (around issue 35 if memory serves), and later as a special issue entirely devoted to the Blessed City.

It's a fantastic city. The default assumption for scenarios based on Laelith back in the day was that you were using AD&D (it's medieval fantastic at its core), but there are hints to various different games in there, like Call of Cthulhu, jokes about Tolkien and the like. The special issue develops in great detail different ways to use the city for different games, such as Role Master, Mega, RuneQuest, Hawkmoon and post apocalyptic settings, even games like Star Wars are covered.

PS: Map of Laelith.

Indeed. Let Kuroth be known from now on as Kuroth the Sage.

Just years of interest in these games that's all, like most everyone one about here.  Thank you all the same, always good to have mutual esteem about.

It is very nice.  It would have been cool if Dragon or Dungeon did an issue that was completely about a city for a whole issue.  That still could be done, though. This link provides a good over-view of the January 1991 issue that Laelith had a full appearance in Casus Belli.

Contents of the January 1991 issue of Casus Belli

There probably is another from Das Schwarze Auge that would fit into the better category too, other than Gareth that’s already listed.  I just recalled Blacksand from Fighting Fantasy. It is also one of the better ones.
