Sandbox Playstyle Toolkit: The City
Systemless Fantasy Supplement by KR1 Publishing
Can your players walk into any city and find it alive, named, and full of hooks?
Sandbox Playstyle Toolkit: The City is a system-agnostic collection of roll tables for building the home base and every settlement beyond it – cities, taverns, guilds, shops, temples, and street encounters, all generated in minutes.
Instead of prepping the city from scratch, this book turns a handful of dice into a mapped, named, and governed settlement through the eight-step A City in a Jiffy recipe, then fills it with people, rumors, and trouble.
Whether you run Shadowdark, OSR, 5e, Pathfinder 2e, or another fantasy RPG, the tables slot straight into your campaign – built as companions to the West Marches PlayKit and the Hexcrawl Complete PlayKit, and just as ready to stand alone.
Inside you’ll find:
- The eight-step city generator with a worked example city, ready to run
- Inns and taverns – names, proprietors, staff, patrons, menus, entertainment, and rumors
- The adventurers’ guild – codes, leaders, headquarters with an example map, and 40 ready-to-run quests
- Vendors and merchants – shops of every size and what the keeper hides behind the counter
- Temples and shrines – faiths, rituals, temple features, and spiritual leaders
- 120 city encounters split by day, night, safe, and unsafe areas, plus off-screen developments that keep the city moving between sessions
Perfect for GMs who want the home base to matter, city streets to feel alive, and improvisation to come easy at the table.
This is the first book of The Sandbox Toolkit Series – The Wilderness and The Dungeon follow.
Sandbox Playstyle Toolkit: The City is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
