Where to get what in Magnimar

I am currently prepping the Skinsaw Murders and got the (pure awesome) Magnimar sourcebook but the way things are organized won't help me very much at the table.

What I need is a table of all the services offered in Magnimar, preferably with a short info (high-priced, superior quality, shady owner...) and a location. Then, when my players say "I want to shop for a mighty magic weapon!" I can take them to a store quickly.

I looked through the Community Created Stuff thread here but couldn't find anything like it. Is something like this out there? I'd do it myself but if I can save the time I'd be more than happy to.


in the stat block for each district they have lists of shops, inns , etc. otherwise i recommend just pulling it out of thin air:) "See, thats why i like to keep it loose!"- Sterling Archer, on becoming a Pirate King

I know this is an old post, but I am finding the same issue with the Magnimar book. Though great for adding flavor, it is not helpful to find what you need quickly in gameplay. You almost need to memorize the contents for it to be truly effective. And that is not one of my strengths.

Just trying to find a magic shop that sold magic items was difficult. I ended up using the generic Bazaar of Sails and will likely create a location on my own. But that is not why I purchase source books.


I know what you mean. As much as I like to have the book on my shelf it is these situations where I find PDFs becoming more and more valuable to me and my game: find the pieces of text you need, copy/paste them together and print them out to have them ready whenever the need arises.

Probably not much comfort right now, but maybe something for the future.

I think the trick is to spend a little prep time to flesh out what you think your players are going to want or need ahead of time. You know they'll need a various magic shops and a place for healing. Have some shop names, etc. ready on a sticky note or card. It works best if you skim the Magnimar book and make notes about all that on your way through.
