City Builder Volume 1: Communities and City Builder Volume 2: Craftsman Places, the first two editions in the 11-volume City Builder series, have been designated as "Silver Best Sellers" on the DriveThruRPG retail site! This recognition is paralled with "Silver Popular Pick" labels on the RPGNow retail site.

Most of the other volumes in the City Builder series have also received some sort of similar recognition on the two major online retail sites. Volumes 3-9 are "Copper Best Sellers" on DriveThruRPG and volumes 3-11 are "Copper Popular Picks" on RPGNow.


"A true systemless role playing game supplement series, City Builder is one of the most useful city building tools to come around in this half of the decade," DriveThruRPG staff reviewer Nathan Collins said in a recent writeup. "Strong writing accompanies fantasy element nicely. Whether you need to develop one isolated building the PCs are set to encounter, or a city that needs to 'pop up' quickly, there is something in this set that will greatly help you."

Skirmisher publishing released City Builder Volume 1: Communities as a PDF download in February 2008 and followed up with one volume in the same format each month thereafter, completing the series with the release of City Builder Volume 11: Underworld Places in December. Each of the volumes in the series is currently available either individually or as a bundle containing all of them (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=59033&affiliate_id=200677). The volumes are very modestly priced, ranging in cost from $1.99 to $3.99, and the entire bundle is only $19.89 (a savings of $7 off all the volumes individually).


Of the 13,736 products currently available on DriveThruRPG, 18.2% of them -- or some 2,255 -- have one of the five different metallic Best Seller medallions.

"We are really proud to get this sort of recognition for the City Builder series," said Skirmisher publisher Michael J. Varhola. "We put a lot of effort into all of our products and it means a lot to us when we are able to meet the needs of so many of our readers with some of them."
