The Practitioner's Guide books are a collection of fictional Guide Books to the Occult Sides of cities all around the world.
The series was started by Stephen Jack Cullen with The Practitioner's Guide to Dublin but any writer, anywhere in the world, writing in any language is free to write their own.
The idea is to create a -completely Open Source- guide to the entire Earth that any writer, artist, games-developer or creative of any kind is free to work in and use as they see fit.
If you are writing your own Practitioner's Guide and would like it included on this page please read these guidelines and contact us at hoganddiceproductions@gmail.com

Incredibly engaging, but littered with simple errors. Some of them are unforgiveably straightforward. A very good, intriguing guide to the Dublin you don't know, though. (Click here for full review)
