Jonathan McAnulty (The Ecology of the Froghemoth) and T.H. Gulliver (Wayfinder) are going to be bringing you the next part of the Evocative City Sites series on April 11th:
"I am an explorer, a man of action, and foiler of nefarious plots. Come read my book, Evocative City Sites, and I, Owain Northway, will guide you through the back alleys to the door of a little shop that was not there yesterday. I will tell you of Kavit M. Tor's Emporium of Collectible Curiosities."
Evocative City Sites: a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game compatible supplement detailing small locations that you could find in any urban campaign setting. This site is detailed with its own cartography, a 1”=1 square scale map pack, three unique npcs, 10 new magic items and 10 flavorful curses, all presented in the unique, useful, and entertaining form of Owain Northway’s first person point-of-view guidebook.
Kavit M. Tor's Emporium of Collectible Curiosities is a place that is easy to stumble upon, a place where you always seem to get a great deal, a place full of facinating mysterious and exotic items, a place where the only thing not for sale is Kavit's smoking pipes and his caged monkey, but buyer beware for there is not a liberal return policy and it is a place that may not be there tomorrow!
This product includes:
Pit-Fiend-Bound Human Sorcerer (Infernal)(CR 12)
Ebon Servitor Gargoyle Ranger (CR 8)
Monkey Monk /Blind Master (CR 7)
MSRP $1.99 PDF
13 (23) pages.

Hey, Folks,
As the editor of the Evocative City Sites line for Rite Publishing, I figured I should say a little bit about my thoughts on this particular piece.
Maybe it's the word play or the tropes touched upon with this piece, but it made me wonder about a "What If" the shop in Gremlins was actually a place like this touching upon our world. But, that's how my brain works when I see something cool that I like.
That's how Kavit M. Tor's hits me, right in that Gremlins or Big Trouble in Little China bone that's right near left clavicle.
If you ever wanted to just through in a place to remove curses, but still enact a punishment on your PCs, not that I'm saying I would do that...okay, I would, as I'm evil...but this would definitely be a nice way to do it.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy it!

T.H. Gulliver, for those not in the know, is also Tarren Dei and a Paizo Superstar finalist.
Though I was skeptical at first when Steve gave us the assignment of doing a cursed shop, it ended up being a fun place to write up. Its a place with a lot of potential and one I think creative DMs can find a multitude of uses for: a cursed items shop (Needful Things), a place to unload those cursed books nobody else wants, a gateway to the planes (one of them anyway) or a place to research ancient evils. It has villains to fight, a monk in need of rescuing and souls in need of salvation. It's also a pretty good bargain for $1.99.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE...
