Masterwork Maps: Inns & Taverns

One of the things I enjoyed about the book that has nothing to do with d20 is at the start of the book, in the section, "What's on the Menu." Broken up by status, it shows what people eat in the morning and evening so we see that a merchant may start his day with apple fritters made with ale batter while a noble may end his day with veal meatballs, roasted and butter glazed.

Some things I didn't like include the lack of art for the patrons and owners. I understand this isn't one of Flying Buffalo's old city books though and it's primary purpose isn't NPCs but maps. Another thing I didn't like was the briefness of some of the locations While the Black Cat Inn has over twenty locations marked off on the maps, there are no descriptions for those areas. Not vital as the main description covers the most common areas but it would've been nice to have.

If you're looking for detailed adventures and rooms with detailed inventories down to the last carpet, then this book isn't for you. This is for the GM who wants a skeleton map and owner with some patrons that he can fully flesh out and in that aspect, it does it's job well."
