Enjoy a trip to a world where powerful priests can charge sinners with the death penalty, and where knights gather for illegal combat sports ... where thieves can thumb their nose at the authorities from within the walls of a church, and where a foraging band of the king's own soldiers is more dangerous than a pack of brigand outlaws.

Town: A City-Dweller's Look at 13th to 15th Century Europe is a sourcebook examining medieval life from the perspective of the guild and merchant-house, through the lives of craftsmen, traders, students, thieves and mercenaries - dwellers in medieval Europe's cities and towns. It's a friendly primer on the basics of medieval life, and a treasury of hard-to-find details for the Game Master or enthusiast. Features in Town include appendices exploring specific historical examples (the cities of Paris, Venice and York) to provide added perspective on - and some telling exceptions to - to the ideas explored in the main text.
