WANTED: Stalwart adventurers to help restore order in the World's Largest City!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Wizard Council of Alderac is hereby looking for adventurers to travel to the World's Largest City and help restore order to it's many and varied streets! The Wizard Council of Alderac has had reports of tourists in the World's Largest City disappearing in the night, and it is believed that they may have fallen prey to the Thieves Guild...or maybe the undead running amok in the sewers...or rogue wizards and secret societies...the list goes on and on. Nothing but pure adventure and intrigue* awaits all those who venture to the World's Largest City! (*The Wizard Guild of Alderac makes no claims on possible treasures to be found, but does impose a 25% treasure finding tax on all those leaving the World's Largest City)

Following in the rather large footsteps of the World's Largest Dungeon, the World's Largest City presents a fully detailed fantasy city which covers 16 full-color maps and will keep your players occupied for a whole campaign's-worth of adventure!

1.0 out of 5 stars Chant the eulogy of all joy , May 19, 2007

By	L. Wilhelm II - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The single most amazing aspect of this book is the incredible consistency with which it creates such tributes to shame on each and every page. Indeed the writing skill and style of this text is what we have come to expect from barely literate blue-green algae.

In this book you will not find any world information, overarching plot lines, maps of interior spaces, logic, or reason. Things you will find include special paper designed to absorb the blood and tears of the reader, shallow and stereotypical NPC descriptions with levels chosen to be more extreme than a Mountain Dew commercial, the explicit and sadistically detailed location of every single coin and magic item in the city at all times, and monotonous page art so bleak it would scare the cast of Orwell's 1984.

Editing and formatting problems serve to enhance the books profane aura. Lines of text are occasionally wrapped to the left and right of images for maximum seizure induction and grammatical errors can be found decorating the text with staggering frequency. While a few worthy pieces of art may be found by those adventurous enough to read the entire unholy tome they are on average exceedingly poor and placed in locations which I may only assume make sense in some non-euclidean alternate universe.

On the plus side the book functions as a fairly effective bludgeoning weapon. Also the feeling of joy and liberation one feels when putting down the book is akin to being freed from the Spanish inquisition.
