Volo's Vetted Vendors

The Best Shops of the Forgotten Realms

Volothamp Geddarm is back! After years of research, Volo’s Vetted Vendors is the humble scribe’s latest work. Wherever your adventures take you, this book will be your guide to the local businesses. Whether you're looking for a place to sleep, somewhere to stock up on supplies, or simply a place to get a great mug of ale, Volo has got you covered!

This book includes 20 unique establishments and their proprietors, together with a list of wares offered, delectable details about the owner, and other adventure seeds to inspire your campaign.

The supplement is fully converted for Roll20:

  • Handouts with tables for each location
  • An NPC for each of the shopkeepers
  • Location map of The General Store, with dynamic lighting, doors and windows
  • NPCs for all of the stat blocks used in the adventure
  • 35 magic item handouts

The book includes everything you need to effectively (and quickly!) use it at the table.

"Full of great ideas and beautifully presented."

"A delightfully presented collection of commercial enterprises, many of which are truly inspired"

"There are supplements you want and there are supplements you need. If your PCs are the shopping types, this definitely falls in the latter category. Don't miss out!"

"I truly enjoyed reading Volo's Vetted Vendors. This is an excellently designed supplement. Each location has a focus on how to engage your characters—from interesting items to purchase to adventure hooks to roleplaying prompts. Not only will you be inspired as a DM, you will have multiple ways to create fun situations for your players. Highly recommended!"

The following shops are just a few examples of the marvelous businesses that Volo visited on his travels:

  • Located in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep, The Cake Whisperer is an unassuming high-end bakery. Unbeknownst to the general public, The Widow uses this place as the hub of her spy network. (Marius Brunner)
  • You just never know where you'll encounter Formi's Serendipitous Grand Exchange. Whatever the place, just know that Formi has an offer for you that is as tempting as it is strange. (Matthew Whitby)
  • Higrida's Tattoos and Other Artistry is a tattoo shop located in the Dwarven stronghold of Mirabar. Inside of the shop, customers can purchase Higrida's services—both mundane and magical. (Purple Bog Press)

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.
