"""Parsantium BREATHES authenticity and love - New York City meets Byzantium, modern metropolis meets swords & sorcery - this book actually manages to portray a believable, interesting, unique city that oozes the spirit of Al Qadim, early weird fiction and recent phenomena like the god of war-series, all while staying believable."" - Endzeitgeist ""[A] gorgeous map is included in this rich, extremely detailed city with enough history and adventure to keep any role-player interested and busy. Brian's Rating: Travel to this exotic locale and check out the book."" - Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine ""Parsantium: City at the Crossroads is an amazing product. A world that I would love to both run and play in."" Ken Foushee, Worlds on My Mind ""Here is a brand-new city setting replete with opportunity... a group that gets really embedded into the life of Parsantium could see out their entire adventuring careers without leaving the city limits."" - Megan Robertson, Drivethrurpg.com ""Parsantium provides a lot of new and unique content in a quasi-historical fantasy setting ... It has a lot of detail and content, and a very reasonable price, so might just be a perfect product to use to get out of the typical high-fantasy Tolkien-minded mode so many D&D-esque world settings represent."" - Neuroglyph, ENWorld ""I can't recommend Parsantium enough if you want a rich, detailed setting for your fantasy roleplay that's different from the usual fare. No matter what kind of game your players like, Parsantium can fit it in."" - Lester Gash, Thoughts of a Part-Time Hobbyist ""This book is a great resource which can be dropped into an existing campaign world or mined for great ideas. Exactly what you want from a sourcebook."" - Paul Baalham, RPG Now"
