Chine Market

Welcome to Chine Market, a High Magic Lowlives neighborhood!

Chine Market is the fifth of 12 High Magic Lowlives and other ttrpg-compatible city neighborhood guides we're releasing in 2023. Subscribers to the Gem Room Games mailing list receive a 100% off coupon for each one. If you're reading this in May or early June, sign up now to get Chine Market and 7 other neighborhood guides this year!

These neighborhood guides are designed for use with our own High Magic Lowlives, but may also be used as settings and story hooks for any game with a grounded urban fantasy city setting (like Lighthearted, Blades in the Dark, any number of Forged in the Dark games including Slugblaster,  and many post-dungeon fantasy games). 

Chine Market is located in the north central area of the shining city of Hycadia. A charming commercial district bisects residential areas, brimming with tasty shops, quirky food, and - wait. Reverse that.

This neighborhood guide provides details on transportation, utilities, landmarks of local culture, and sites of significant interest in Chine Market - everything you need for whatever heists and hijinks you may get up to.

Highlights include Snerd Museum d’Marionette (so. many. puppets), Lighthearted Games (say hi to Kurt, who runs the place!), and of course, Potatonly, The Restaurant That Serves Only Potatoes (how does that place stay in business?)
