From publisher blurb: VENTURE INTO THE DARK PLACES OF THE WORLD! Dark Fantasy Places is a collection of tables and short essays to inspire the creation of fantastic places: villages, ruins, forests, etc . You can also use this book to generate dark fantasy places for stories, comic books, etc. The focus is on dark fantasy tropes: flawed heroes, terrible villains, corrupting magic, ominous ruins and damned wastelands. This is mostly a system-less book, to be used with any game of your choice, but some parts are written with the most popular RPGs in mind (you know, six abilities, hit points, saving throws, etc). It is especially suited for medieval dark fantasy games, such as my own (Dark Fantasy Basic). It includes sections such as: Random landscapes: create a setting as you go! Humans & Civilization: generate strange towns, villages and cities! Mythical Ruins: bizarre places of wonder and awe! Wilderness features: the natural world meets unnatural phenomena!
