Over on the blooski, someone actually asked me to name my favorite FRP city guides. Nobody's actually invited me across that threshold in such a direct way before. [Wraps cloak around self dramatically, bares fangs, swoops]!

I answered by listing the 25 current entries in that section of the Bibliography.

Some entries kick the definition aside a bit, but there they are.

A confession: I _hate_ puzzles in a context. I dislike anything where the players are supposed to come up with the "one true answer" instead of creatively engaging with the environment they find themselves in.

If I ever do a "puzzle dungeon", it will have been defaced by many generations of previous adventurers who left no doubt about what they thought of these puzzles.

Long ago, there was an article in Playboy about how you could build a pretty good jazz library by grabbing two Miles Davis albums (one late one early), then an album by _each other person_ on each album (leading you to Adderly, Coletrane, Rollins, etc) and then following the collaborators out from there (maybe to Elvin Jones, etc).

I suspect you could build a pretty interesting (and large) library of trad-era RPG books by doing the same thing with the FB/Blade Citybook series.
