Well, if you have never read a book about how to flesh out a city, this book is for you. It has 238 pages that describe that a city has different quarters and that you will find several craftsmen, government-buildings and so on in a city. BUT it does not do more than describe each of these craftsmen/buildings on one or two pages. So if you need help by imagining how the shop of a blacksmith or a clothier or a brothel would look like, this book is for you. However, if that is not enough for you, you will find (like me) that this book could have been trimmed down to ten pages (at most), consisting of a list of craftsmen, government-buildings and so on. You will not find much on a cities economy, military, demographics, disease, sanitation, water supply, population size of at typical city in pre-modern times, the ruling classes or the role of a city in the middle-ages (or any other period of time). You also will not find much on typical city adventures or the like. In my opinion, this boo...

Planet 28 is a narrative skirmish game using dice and miniatures. Death on the Periphery (DotP) adds a simple solo/co-operative mode to the game. Essentially, this boils down to rules for a warband to have a single character, an optional table of agendas for co-op play (which are great! I really like the Pacifist one), a tweak to spice up activation for the non-player artificial intelligence (AI), and a very simple AI for the baddies. The AI basically uses as many opportunities as possible to attack the player's warband, with no variation for different mindsets (cautious, methodical, etc). Having said that, the warband creation rules in the main rulebook includes traits such as coward, so you can just create your enemy as you wish them to act. The supplement ends with a short campaign of three linked encounters, with full stats for two different enemy types. The campaign is designed to be played solo or co-op and it looks like it would be a great intro to the game.
For a competet...
