Privateer Press Does it Again!

As usual for Privateer Press's Iron Kingdoms line, this book is chock full of detailed information and amazing artwork. It includes rules for city chases (including modifiers for running across rooftops!), dozens of rumors to use as plot seeds, hundreds of NPCs, and an insider look at one of the most corrupt cities in Western Immoren! It also features 3 new prestige classes (the Spy, the Enforcer, and the Malefactor of Thamar) and a handful of city dweller feats. In fact, the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the 'tools for defining other Iron Kingdoms cities' are very sporadic and not terribly detailed. I was really hoping to use this book as a building aid for designing the city of Caspia in Cygnar, but if all you're looking for is a book that shows you the ins and outs of Five Fingers, this is the book for you!
