Merchants & Markets

ADD TO WISHLIST >

As game masters, we've all spent time designing our dungeon adventures to the fullest detail only to see our players spend a considerable amount of time in the local shops looking for goodies.  We don't always plan out those parts of our adventure and usually have to improvise.  What if we had a few generic or named shops with details on inventory, the shopkeeper and even a few side quest adventure hooks sitting off to the side for those occasions?  That's where this book comes in!

Merchants & Markets is a system neutral, fantasy roleplaying supplement, designed for GMs who need to add more depth to their village, town and city designs. Over 100 merchants, markets and caravans are found within these pages, including blacksmiths, fortune tellers, herbalists, magic shops, potions shops, weapon dealers and several unique vendors. This book also includes a page of basic floor plans and five mini-adventures!

124 B&W interior pages.  White cover for easy printing.  (note that printed copies have a blue cover)

Merchants & Markets was a successful 2017 Kickstarter project by ThrowiGames LLC.

This is a fantastic resources for world building! Only complaint I have is that it's lacking bookmarks. It's not a big issue but with over a hundred pages it would have been very helpful.

For some reason, Drivethru won't let me add a review for this. It's a great little product. What the blurb doesn't say is that in addition to the pre-generated shops it includes tables to randomly generate many different types of shops and roll up details of what they have to sell. Even if you don't like to use random tables, its good for inspiration as to what you might find in a shop of a given size, how many apprentices a town blacksmith might have compared to a village blacksmith etc.
While obviously aimed at D&D style fantasy, it's system neutral and should be easy enough to adapt to your rules & setting of choice.
Definitely one to add to your GM toolbox. 5 stars.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
