Background

“	Port Blacksand. The very name conjures up an image of depravity, evil and crime. The "City of Thieves" has a well deserved reputation for all of these things, but it is also a magnet for adventurers and Heroes of all sorts looking for fame and wealth. This sourcebook for the Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG contains new rules for Firepower weapons, naval sorcery, sailing and random settlement generation. Herein you will also find the ultimate guide to Port Blacksand itself, complete with maps, district by district to life in the big city.	”
