14!!Tropes:
15* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The boxed set stated that the sewers under Sanctuary were large enough for armed troops to pass through them.
16* TheCityNarrows: The Maze is a neighborhood of Sanctuary that is more thoroughly explored in the game guides.
17* PercussivePickpocket: The Game Master's Guide to Sanctuary had a plethora of random encounter tables. A couple of the entries had pickpockets bumping into the [=PCs=] in order to steal from them. Other encounters mentioned a NPC bumping into a PC so players wouldn't think that everyone bumping into them was a pickpocket.
