Reception
Dave Langford reviewed The Years of the City for White Dwarf #64, and stated that "There are corny elements (like the traditional whores and crooks with hearts of gold in story 1) and things I can't believe; but overall it's impressive, with enough 'realistic' bitterness to make us cynics swallow the sugary core of optimism."[1]

gollark: Subject to conditions.
gollark: The redstone generator bit just throws redstone into a conjuration-catalyst mana pool.
gollark: Then I hooked it up to the actual mana-generation flowers and TNT-placement dispenser, and added some mana storage and a computer controller.
gollark: Most of it is a mana generator. For that, I looked at ways to make mana, then how to make the fuel each of them needed, and how I could make *that*, found one which seemed easiest, and then built small subunits for making each thing and connected them up.
gollark: What whole thing, the bunker or redstone generator?
