Trading Places #2 Blacksmith

Bring your fantasy city to life with 'Trading Places' a range of system-neutral products for your campaigns.

Each product in the range details a single place of business, with colourful NPCs, rumours, adventure ideas, a detailed map and key of the building and more.

The Blacksmith's shop can be the heart of a small community, but even in a larger town or city its importance should not be underestimated. A good smith knows his neighbourhood and what they might need form nails and hinges to tool blades, horseshoes and of course weapons and armour.

Wayland is a very good smith.

He and his sons, along with his apprentice, can make just about anything your PCs might need. His shop is always busy with people and can be a great place to pick up rumours and news, whether it be local rumour or news from far and wide as travellers often stop her to have their horses re-shod or to replace some weapon lost in the journey to town.

Rumours abound about Wayland, some claim he has supernatural powers, others say he is descended from either Dwarves or Giants and knows secrets of metal that few mortals know. Of course, such rumours are probably unfounded... probably.

Meet Wayland and his family in this new product which can be dropped into your game wherever you like. Use it alone or flesh out larger parts of your fantasy city by using it in conjunction with other products in the range.

Included in the pack are full colour maps of the Blacksmith shop and house, detailed NPCs which you can use with any RPG system, a Key to the map which can be used as-is or expanded upon, a collection of rumours about the Blacksmith and his business or family (or both) and almost a dozen adventure ideas for you to use – or not – as you wish.

Next time your PCs need a Blacksmith, have them stop by Wayland's smithy, they will thank you for it in the end.
