No more generic innkeepers! Out with the bland blacksmiths! It’s all too easy to fall into a fantasy gaming rut, where every community feels the same, and the dungeons are interchangeable. Seven Cities brings variety to the settings of your favorite d20 games.

As with all Penumbra sourcebooks, this d20 resource allows you to pick and choose the elements that resonate with you. All you need is your favorite system to play.

Seven Cities provides you with seven location types, including samples and rules for generating your own locations. Detailed maps and enthralling NPCs will draw your players into these communities. Use the provided story starters to launch your campaign, or use them as a part of an ongoing story.
