Powers that Be:
City Council

Written by: Fred Wolke
Illustrated by: Hannah M.G. Shapero
Page Count: 77 pages + 8 Character Cards

Written by E.N.World community member Fred Wolke (you might know him as Vaxalon, however), and fantastically illustrated by Hannah M.G. Shapero, this book brings a complete city council to your game.

Running a game in an urban setting? Slipping towards politics & intrigue? Want to know who runs the show above the local guildmasters?

The first book in the "Powers that Be" series, City Council details each member of the city council, their background, motivations and role-playing notes, as well as the requisite d20 stat block. Each major character also has a colour illustrated card designed to be shown to the players, with the character's notes on the back for the GM to refer to. Also included are maps of the palace and a selection of adventure and campaign notes for use with the city council in question.

But this is more than 'just' the city council and the politics and adventures surrounding them. This book also includes a fully detailed palace within which these intrigues occur and the council meets. Each room is detailed, and all NPCs are statted out. The book is polished off with rules for voting and influencing the voting procedures, as well as some social feats and prestige classes used for the Council members.

The institutions developed and described in the "Powers that Be" line are designed to be easily placed in any major fantasy or magical medieval city. While "Everyone Else" detailed everyone else needed to populate a city, "Powers that Be" details specific institutions and characters within them.

Not sure about the City Council? Check out our free download, Powers that Be: Councilor Remorga. This demo details a single member of the city council, as well as the city palace grounds and some of the ground floor. And it is free for the taking!

It's an okay product for a set of pre-generated NPCs replete with pictures, but you may not find all of them (or their situations) to your taste. I know it will take a lot of work to move them into my campaign, but there are some good ideas in here no [...]

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
