PT4: A 142-page illustrated sourcebook by Monte Cook

Introducing the City of Ptolus, district by district! This book offers a chapter on the first four of the city’s eleven districts. But first, the City by the Spire overview chapter provides information that applies to every district or to the city as a whole. Here, you’ll find information about Ptolus’ races, its climate, layout, economy, and much more. This overview also details the Commissar and City Council, the City Watch, and other official institutions. Following this overview, you will find details on these individual districts: the seamy Docks, the bustling Guildsman District, the adventurers’ favorite Midtown, and the deadly Necropolis.

This is one in a series of nine Ptolus PDF releases from Malhavoc Press. When used together, they comprise the entirety of the Ptolus print book. Each one is also usable on its own for city-based fantasy d20 roleplaying campaigns.

I gave it four stars instead of five simply because the graveyard didn't interest me. The rest of it was well done with encounters, plothooks, and other details mixed in. Top notch work and obviously the person who made this put a lot of work into it [...]

The whole Ptolus setting is a remarkable achievement and is priced appropriately as a PDF. If you are looking for an interesting setting to play in, this one is a good one. If you are looking for something easily adapted to your own world, this probabl [...]

Just for Midtown and the Necropolis, this product is a must. Of course, as part of the Ptolus setting, this is a necessary part of the whole. But as a source of inspiration, the actual description of the locales, people on the street, NPCs, possible ad [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
