The Book of Contemporary Magical Places

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The Book of Contemporary Magical Places is 140 pages of modern, seemingly mundane, locations that are imbued with magical power. Some are quite minor; A a haunted street, a subway platform that can translocate, but some are spectacular, or dangerously malevolent. From minor corners of the planet to Earth shattering pocket universes, these places are there for you to use as a Gamesmaster in your modern, horror, or superhero campaigns.

Using the same easy to follow system from The Book of Contemporary Magical Things, we've classified the magical power levels of the 84 places in this book, ranging from Mina (very minor cantrip like things) to Cosmica (items that can alter the heavens, change the alignment of planets and so on). Each entry's description also contains colour-coded text, designed to allow a GM to easily pickup on beneficial, detrimental, and just plain interesting effects from each location.

Also Included

  • A chapter on curators - groups and individuals with their own agendas for the magical places in this world.
  • A chapter on "conjuctions," - magical combinations that occur when magical items are brought into/used in conjuction with magical places.
  • Three maps showing the locations of many of the magical places found throughout the world.

The bookmarks in MP-Repair_5.pdf have vanished. Is it possible to have them recreated?

Any chance this will be available in softcover, like the Book of Contemporary Magical Things?

This I'd so love as a print book. This sounds like very useful for urban fantasy novel writing.

We’ve ordered the physical proof copies and as soon as they arrive and pass inspection, this book will be available in both hard and soft cover versions.

Even just one page of one location would do.

Due to the length of a lot of the location entries, I've expanded the "Full-Size Preview" to include the first four. I hope that'll give you a decent idea of what to expect with the rest, and thank you for suggesting that we include some of the locations for people to look at.

Would love to see at least one "magical place" to get a feel for it. Preview too tiny to read. Preview of contents, opening illustration, etc. is not helpful in that regard. Thanks.

We’d actually just started discussing putting a few examples/summaries of some in the product description (as well as doing the same for TBoCMT). Give me a day or two and I’ll be sure to get it done.

I would love to read a preview of this book to see how useful it would be in my games.

Thanks in advance.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
