Ptolus is a metropolis. Just like anyone who lives in a big city, you can live there your whole life and not know every district, every shop, etc.. What Ptolus needs is an easy way for the GM to make updates to the map as players discover new locations that the GM placed. A NPC house, shop, point of interest, safe house that the GM introduced.

One of these days, I have to get back to reading through the book. Having only gone halfway or so hasn't stopped me from using it as my campaign setting three times. I'll definitely have to get to the Adventures section this time; the previous times I jury-rigged other adventures or homebrews into it.

I will be running all kinds of adventures from all kinds of sources in Ptolus, that’s part of the fun as a GM.

Maaaan, all the ptolus adventures are so freaking good. I'm currently running night of dissolution with a group and I'm currently thinking of running banewarrens with another group. These are real classic mini campaigns and you can really tell they come from an actual campaign and weren't just written to sell books. I've also used some of the new adventures from the adventures in ptolus book, specifically returned of the ebon hand and doctrine of Ghul. I've enjoyed both of them but they both feel a little over written but sort of flimsy on usable materials. I would absolutely recommend them but they required more prep than I was expecting.

This campaign setting looks better and better. Starting to justify that price tag to me to pickup a physical copy.

Ptolus is such an amazing campaign setting. Did you get all the 3e stuff with the Kickstarter as well?

Ptolus is a setting that you could just run a multi year campaign in with one group.

I mean, when a professional game designer spends 30-something years refining his homegame setting... ...I mean, yeah... Its gonna be super useful for everything! There's a reason it was used to playtest D&D 3e... It had been used during AD&D 2e, aswell... Its a setting... Thats something that modern gamers seem to have trouble disconnecting from systems running a setting. Technically, you can run Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Call of Cthulhu, what-have-you in any system; because they're not defined by the system. Everything that makes Dragonlance unique, is outlined in the Core Rulebook by Tracey Hickman...same goes for The Realms and Ed Greenwood. These settings don't require you play D&D. I feel like thats a lost art... Or maybe this overwhelming resurgence of D&D has just greatly 'dumbed' the masses to not see that. ...I still maintain that Fantasy AGE is a much better system to play any modern D&D game with...
