Freeport: City of Adventure Freeport has been Green Ronin's signature setting of pirate adventure and Cthulhoid madness since the early days of the d20 System boom. The setting launched with the ENnie award-winning adventure “Death in Freeport”, and has seen several other adventure modules as well as multiple setting expansions centered around the flagship title “Freeport: City of Adventure”. In 2006 the setting went “system agnostic” with the publication of the “Pirate's Guide to Freeport” which contained no system stat blocks at all. This book was followed (slowly) by a series of “Freeport Companions” for different systems, all containing similar information tailored to different game systems. At this point, the line includes companion books for True 20, 3 rd Era (d20 System), Savage Worlds, Pathfinder, and Fate. In 2013, Green Ronin funded the production through Kickstarter of a single massive tome combining the Pirate's Guide and the Companion material as...

Cosmic Patrol from Catalyst Game Labs appealed to me the instant I saw the book. Such classic iconography with the rocket ship surrounded by orbiting bodies. A name so evocative of the pulp stories and radio serials that I love. Elegant graphic design in an attractive digest-sized hardcover. Wait. Digest size? I suppose that’s when I knew that something was about to go terribly wrong. After all, RPG books are supposed to be the full size of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper. It’s only reluctantly that Savage Worlds and Fate won me over to the 6x9 novel-sized format.

I was rushed, so I passed by the core book and grabbed the Quick-Start rules instead. Let’s take a look.   Create Your Character: (D10)   The hardcover books are certainly very attractive leatherette numbers with nice quality paper stock inside...

Product Review Dungeons & Dragons (5e) Starter Set Summer of 2014 saw the release of the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons in a box set designed to introduce new players to the game. The box includes a rule book, an adventure book, pregenerated character sheets, and a full set of dice. It retails for $19.99. Create Your Character +0: The production quality of the box is fairly average. The dice are a nice, marbleized deep blue with bright white numbers. The rule books use thick, glossy presentation pages, and the character sheets are on heavy-weave linen. Both books are coverless, saddle-stitched jobs. A 64-page rulebook and a 32-page adventure book. The included rules are meant to take characters as high as 5 th level, and the adventure booklet maps out this structure very well. The box set plays as a quaint little self-contained game that will provide four or five complete gaming sessions. Roll for Initiative +3: Much of the violence and occult materi...
