Awesome book with great shops! I am already using several for my large city and created many more with the roll tables.

A great resource for creating different shops and seeing some examples of them in action. While not as extensive as the information for creating settlements, this still has a wealth of information that is worth looking at and using as the jumping off point for your own creations as well.

The roll tables in the back will definitely come in handy, but I love the chapter on bringing shops to life. Lots of unique items, and I love that some npcs from the pre gen shops are nonbinary!

If your players are anything like mine, and love a lot of detail and roleplay opportunities in their games, give this a try. Lovely for fleshing out something at simple as shopping.

This is another item in my quiver of “must have” references to make my life easier. This book goes a long way in fleshing out and providing meat for your typical inn. And, when combined with some of the charts in the Spectacular Settlements book you can really flesh out an inn and its locale with some great plot hooks and backgrounds. Very highly recommended!

Fantastic book. Has come in handy when creating shops for my players. The random generation when I’ve had a bit of writer’s block has made it very simple to pick a few key ideas and then allow the creativity to then takes its course. Another great tool for any DM

I do not even know where to start with this review. This is a must have tool for your world/realm/etc. Very creative and easy to place in your towns or city’s. You can pull from it and drop in or use it to stimulate your creativity. I love PDF’s that I can use in adobe to take out literal content and put it on my Discord campaign to add to the lore. Very awesome. I buy all their Lore/Settlement/help my campaign PDF stuff and have never been disappointed.
