* [[Dungeons and Dragons]] has big hub cities crop up in campaign settings:
** ''[[Planescape]]'' has Sigil ("City of Doors")
** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' has a choice of such places spread through various regions, mostly [[Merchant City|major trade centers]]. Neverwinter for North campaigns, Waterdeep (City of Splendors) for North and Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate and Athkatla (the capital of Amn and a [[Holy City]] of the goddess of trade) for southern Sword Coast, Scornubel the "Caravan City" in Western Heartlands, Westgate on the south-west of the Sea of Fallen Stars...
*** Ravens Bluff north-east on the Sea of Fallen Stars is a location of its own sub-setting Living City.
*** ''Al-Qadim'' has Huzuz "the City of Delights" - a center of trade, learning, religious activities and also the seat of the Grand Caliph.
** ''[[Eberron]]'' has Sharn
* ''[[Greyhawk]]'' has... well, Greyhawk (City of...hey, the setting's named after it; what more did you want?).
* Cymril in the ''[[Talislanta]]'' game setting.
* ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]'' has several candidates. The original capital of Rokugan is Otosan Uchi, but the city is mostly based around supporting the Imperial Court than being a functioning city. A better candidate is Ryoko Owari Toshi, commonly called the "City of Lies." It is a major economic hub and center of intrigue (hence the name). Both cities were detailed in boxed set supplements.▼
▲* Sharn, the city of towers, in the continent of Khorvaire and Stormreach in Xen'drik in the setting of ''[[Eberron]]'' act as this. It's worth pointing out that Stormreach is the one city by which all traffic to Xen'drik transits, and most of that traffic usually leaves from Sharn. Before Cyre blew up, it's capital city, Metrol, used to be the largest Metropolis, in no small part thanks to hosting the HQ of the most powerful [[Mega Corp|Dragonmarked House]].

▲** [[L 5 R]] spinoff [[Legend Of The Burning Sands]] is almost entirely based around Medinat al-Salaam, the [[Irony|City of Peace]]. Travelers from all over the world eventually find their way here.
