started reading Mattimeo by Brian Jacques (Redwall (3))

Brian Jacques: Mattimeo (Hardcover, 1989, Hutchinson) 4 stars

Slagar the fox hated Redwall Abbey - its peaceable creatures, its fearless mouse warrior Matthias. …

Listening on Everand. And It's Another Full Cast Performance!

Very ready for more #Redwall stories. Always fun yet serious. And this time, it's a generation after the first. So some of my fav chars are back (Yay, Constance the badger). Tho I am going to have to catch up on things. It's been a while since this era of Mossflower. #Fantasy #books @bookstodon@a.gup.pe

One of my long-running aspirations is to design a (#dnd -style) #fantasy #ttrpg setting that features truly vast cities, of a size comparable to modern-day major metropolitan areas.

As a result, I've accumulated a number of books that try to examine the structure and layout of cities - what makes a modern city a city, instead of just focusing on any single town. This particular book offers layout views of streets and buildings of major cities - without labeling them - so that readers can get a feel for their structure instead of getting bogged down in the details.
