10 / 10troy812This is nice if you want to "wing it" one night. This is a lot of fun to just roll through these fun encounters. This is a real must have item to have in a DMs toolbox.
9 / 10Pierce InverarityIf you're used to GMing on the fly, this is the tool you want for city adventures.
8 / 10ThanuirExcellent random tables (just ignore the one that creates quests).
7 / 10Zachary The FirstAn obscure, but useful book. Ditto on ignoring quest charts.
6 / 10FlexiGood if you are running short on inspiration. Decent sections on town/city creation.
6 / 10SkiorhtThe tables are surprisingly fun and useful. A far better product than you might expect.
6 / 10ShannonAA pretty neat supplement to introduce some random events into a city adventure.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
