Citybook VII: Kings River Bridge is a fantasy role-playing game supplement published by Flying Buffalo in 1997.
Contents[edit]
Citybook VII: Kings River Bridge was part of the Catalyst line of game supplements.
Each book in the series, which began with CityBook: Butcher, Baker, Candlestick maker, presents a fictional business in a fantasy game world including a layout for the establishment, description, characters associated with that business and potential plot hooks. The series is designed to help Game Masters (GMs) populate their towns and cities rather than having to make them all from scratch.
The remaining books in the series focused on specific parts of town, such as fancy establishments, the seedy side of town, port city-specific locations and more. King's River Bridge details the businesses and characters that service or are near the city's river bridge.
Rather than being tied to one role-playing system, the CityBook series was a generic fantasy supplement with information that allowed its characters to be easily converted or created in any fantasy role-playing game. As such, it is still a usable supplement even though the game systems that existed when it was published have changed rules a few times.
