A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement So What’s For Sale, Anyway? III

So What’s For Sale, Anyway? III by Julian Neale is a role playing game supplement published by Raging Swan Press for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.

The supplement is available as a 23-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $3.99 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. Two pages are the front and rear covers, three the front matter, Contents and Foreword, one page is an ad and one is the Open Game License. The PDF comes in two versions, one designed for print and high-end devices, the other for mobile and low-end devices.

The Foreword explains that previous supplements dealt with generic settlements that were by default human in nature. This supplement concentrates on what can be bought in dwarven settlements, or perhaps from a dwarven trader. Cursed items, introduced in the second entry, are used again in this.

Just as with the previous entries in the series, the settlements are divided into various types. There are 25 thorps, 21 hamlets, 14 villages, 11 small towns, 9 large towns, 7 small cities, 7 large cities and 8 metropolises. As with the previous entries, there are magic item tables; just as with the second, there are also spellcasters for hire and curses. In addition, there are some brief settlement details, with a name, description and settlement stat block. Thorps, hamlets, villages and small towns each have two settlements; large town, small city and large city each have one.

So What’s For Sale, Anyway? III in Review

The PDF is well bookmarked with major and minor sections linked. The Contents is to less depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a number of black and white illustrations. Presentation is okay.

With the focus on dwarves, there’s less of a variety of some kinds of item than there would be otherwise; possibly even less variety than would be expected even for dwarven weapons. The curses for the cursed items are okay, but not spectacular. So What’s For Sale, Anyway? III is a decent, if more specialised, supplement and it can be found by clicking here.
