The Game Master's Book of Instant Towns and Cities: 160+ unique villages, towns, settlements and cities, ready-on-demand, plus random generators for ... RPG adventures (The Game Master Series)

I'm really enjoying this series of guides. This guide was excellent and useful to me as a GM. The value and print production is excellent. I've seen similar books go for double the money.

Love these books as a DM. They are filled with helpful information

Its a really good source. Some people are whining about there not being maps, but you really don't need them.

I've become a big fan on this book series. not every book is needed but the one like this which allow you quickly add something and not have to do a lot of heavy lifting comes in handy

The Game Master's Series never disappoints. Their latest installment "Instant Towns and Cities" is yet another great book of inspirational ideas to put in any TTRPG campaign. This book offers 100's of settlements, town, cities, and or major capitals that you can use on a instant in any campaign. The authors give you so many great ideas for encounters. For me I always have a hard time trying to make up a city on the fly when my players decide to go off the beaten path (like PC's always do). Well with this book, it helps you out so much. You just need 5 mins to read and BOOM you have a settlement or town with governments, people, and enemies. It's that easy. Now this book doesn't have mapped out city and town grids, however if gives you, the GM, unlimited tools and inspiration to make your towns and cities exactly how you want. You can literally put these ideas in any game setting. You can use their premade towns, mix and match, or go wild and roll on the random charts. I have every book in the "Game Master's Series" and they just keep getting better and better. The pricing of these books for how much ridiculous content you get is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this book (and all the other Games Masters's Series books) to any GM.

There are plenty of various sized settlements and lots of detail in this book that is well produced, and an interesting read. The only reason it’s not five stars from me is because I thought there would be more tools in here for making your own settlements. Most of the book is already created settlements. However, what is here is well done and very useful.

I was a bit disappointed in what this included. Premade towns and cities. I guess I was thinking it would all be rolling the dice for all these cool different things (which they do have at some extent).Then I realized as I was DMing this weekend. My party went off trail, as much they do and ended up at a town I did not even have a name for. If I was to roll for everything it would of taken forever. So I looked up the terrain in the book, found a town, used the name and BLAMO. Everything I needed and then some. Had a little side quest with a little extra nugget of detail they included.So bottomline. This is not a Town CREATOR, it is exactly what it says, INSTANT towns / Cities. For the DM's that have to deal with the parties going everywhere but expected... it's worth the money.

My hubby is a DM. He collects.
