Friday in Freeport - Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion (Final Hours)

We're in the last hours of the Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion. Shadow of the Demon Lord is great and Freeport is also great, so think of this as the ultimate peanut butter and chocolate together sanity destroying combo. If you want to get into the game, this is a optimal time. Every product in the game's catalog are available as add-ons at a reduced cost.

Friday in Freeport - Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion Kickstarter

The Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion Kickstarter is live and funded. This is a great time to pic up pdf's of previous books too (most of which are half-price in the add-ons section).

The stretch goals are pretty sweet. The first is a SotDL update to the classic Freeport Trilogy. The Second is Beyond the World's Edge, a 32 page expansion that details strange and bizarre islands. The third is Tales of the Pirate Isles which contains three one session adventures. The final stretch goal is the Demon Lords Companion 2, which if it's in anything like the first, will be an amazing addition to any SotDL game.

Are you a player of Shadow of the Demon Lord and curious about the content? Here are some some pages from the companion (which are not final layout, but contain some nice crunchy bits).

Friday in Freeport - The Celebrant

+Robert Schwalb has released his first preview of the upcoming Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion. One of the new expert paths in the book the celebrant looks like a lot of fun.

A devotee of the unpredictable pirate god, One-Eyed Pete, the celebrant is the best kind of cultist. These pirates are trouble makers that seek to find treasure and booze to placate their chaotic patron.

The celebrant path's abilities all hinge on him being wasted on rum or another pirate-y spirit. They become impaired but take less damage and are capable of doing other feats while influence by that famous old spiced. In addition, they get some pirate appropriate magic.

I have to say, the first taste of Freeport SotDL-style is quite awesome. Keep your eye out for more pirate-Demon Lord shenanigans here and remember the kickstarter is supposed to launch in less than a week (March 1st).

Friday in Freeport - Pirate Robot

+Robert Schwalb has announced that Shadow of the Demon Lord is getting the Freeport treatment which is one of the (many) things persuaded me to pick up the game. I found this picture and it made me think of a swashbuckler with clockwork ancestry.

Friday in Freeport - On the Horizon

It's so close.

I received an email from Green Ronin today and this is what caught my eye:

"Freeport: The City of Adventure for the Pathfinder RPG has made it through the troubled West Coast ports and is on its way to our fulfillment company. If you backed it on Kickstarter or have pre-ordered it, then soon it will be in your hands! You might want to put on a back brace first--this is our biggest book ever, at 544 pages."

I've looked through the pdf and the book is gorgeous and just overflowing with piratey-goodness. I don't know how I'm going to get a second game going, but when this comes in it's something I have to do. I'm thinking it will be even more fun to make the the Islands of Purple-Haunted Putrescence a destination for the salty sea dogs.

I can almost smell the sea salt, taste the rum, and hear the shanties now...

Friday in Freeport - Undead Pirates

Happy Halloween everyone!

Friday in Freeport - Ghoulish Pirates

Friday in Freeport - Guns!

One reason I've shyed away from doing Freeport in 5E so far is that there weren't any official gun rules. Well according to yesterdays preview of the DMG firearms, explosives, and alien tech are getting some treatment soon.

Friday in Freeport - More Alestorm!

Do you need more pirate metal in your life? The answer, whether you know it or not, is yes.

Friday in Freeport - More Serpent People

This is a continuation of this post. Also, because I use Freeport with D&D stuff and don't have to worry about WotC suing me, I use serpent folk and yaun-ti. In my games Zehir (god of the yaun-ti is the child of Yig).When the Serpent empire fell, Zehir used his magic to mix the serpent people with their slave races, creating the yaun-ti. Degenerate and corrupt serpent folk tend to get along with yaun-ti. However there are some civilized serpent folk that consider them abominations. Yig tends to ignore them.

Friday in Freeport - Ship Minis

Pirates of the Spanish Main was a "constuctible strategy game" made by Wizkids in the mid 2000's. It was sold in booster packs. Everything was printed on card sized sheets of plastic and cardboard. You had to assemble the ships yourself (hence "constuctible). I never played the game though I have found a use for tit. If you want to use a battle grid for large scale navel combat in your game, let's say for Freeport for example, this game has some great miniatures for you. Since it's out of print, you can get many of the ships and boosters cheap.

Friday in Freeport - Homarid Invasion!

Homarids are a race of humanoid crustaceans featured in a few sets of Magic: The Gathering. While they're not Freeport specific, I think they'd make a great addition to Freeport (or any other nautical setting).
