The Adventure-Arc Anthology consists of five separate adventures which take place in <strong>Green Ronin Publishing’s</strong> <strong><em>Freeport: City of Adventure</em></strong> setting, but are all tied together to form one overarching plotline. The five adventures are designed for characters of 9th to 12th Level.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><u>Production Quality</u></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">The production quality of <strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong> is very good, presenting some excellent writing and adventure plotting by the designers, and a nice easy-to-read layout. Although the designers worked on different adventures in the arc, there is definitely decent cohesion between the storylines, even if the styles are a little divergent. The monster and NPC stat blocks are presented in a format which is standard PFRPG, and important notes are placed in shaded boxes for easy reference throughout the book.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">[align=left]http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=62961&amp;d=1406184673[/align]The book itself has a fairly detailed table of contents for GMs to use when finding their way through the adventures. Physically, the binding is standard trade paperback style, and the cover is thick paper stock with a glossy exterior finish. The interior paper-weight is decent, with a slightly rough texture, good for thumbing one’s way through the pages.

The interior art is all done in grays and shadows, and not particularly breathtaking. And the art depicting the “big baddee” villain was particularly disappointing, as it bears absolutely no resemblance to the written description by the designers.

The adventure is designed to take a party of 9th Level characters through a story arc which will complete, according to the designers, at around 12th Level of play. And although the five adventures presented are designed for recommended levels of play – one at 9th, two at 10th, and one more each at 11th and 12th Levels – the designers make it clear that the adventures need not be run in a particular order, which might require a GM to do some tailoring in threat levels to make it work in his or her campaign.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">[align=right]http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=62962&amp;d=1406184673[/align]The adventure is presented in six sections: an introductory section, and one chapter for each of the adventures. The introductory section presents the story synopsis to explain the overarching plot-arc, as well as some recommendations on how to use the adventure in an ongoing campaign set in Freeport. The designers assume that the heroes will be doing other things between the adventures, so that overall plotline told by the adventures takes place over a long period of time – presumably months if not a year or more. The designers do a good job laying out the premise of <strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong> as well as the suggestions on how to run the arc itself.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">The adventure is designed to work in tandem with the <strong><em>Freeport: City of Adventure</em></strong> product, as well as the <strong><em>Pirate’s Guide to Freeport</em></strong> and the <strong><em>Freeport Companion</em></strong>, not to mentioned the <strong><em>Pathfinder Role-playing Game</em></strong> books as needed – or at least access to the<em> Pathfinder System Online Documents</em>. Obviously, the adventure need not be set in Freeport, but in another corrupt city of the GMs choosing, but there are references to specific NPCs and locales in the adventure-arc which might make it less efficacious without those references.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">Thematically, <strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong> bears a certain resemblance to a <strong><em>Call of Cthulhu</em></strong> investigation – dark cults, demonic entities, and terrible-secrets-best-left-unknown are all strong story elements utilized by the designers. Even <em>insanity</em> plays a part in the adventure, specifically the <em>insanity</em> optional rules found in the <strong><em>Freeport Companion</em></strong>. There are more than enough Lovecraftian tropes scattered throughout the five adventures to make it a benefit to have some sort of “SAN-Loss” mechanic in the <strong><em>Pathfinder</em></strong> game.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong> is no mere dungeon crawl, but a substantial investigation in a “living” city, and the players will find their characters presented with a wide range of social interactions and opportunities for role-playing. But there is also a decent amount of combat opportunities as well, and there is a bit of dungeon-crawl here and there, which makes the adventure a pretty balanced affair between sleuthing, scamming, and all-out battle. And because the adventure is presented in a “living” city, the actions taken by the characters and their successes and failures will absolutely have far reaching ramifications for Freeport and its citizens. It’s that butterfly-effect element in this adventure which might have a strong appeal to some groups, and a good GM will be able to leverage the players actions and decisions into “real-world” effects on the city around them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>Overall Score</strong>: 7.7 <strong>out of</strong> 10.0</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p> <span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><u>Conclusions</u></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">If you and your gaming group enjoy the darker side of high fantasy role-playing, and especially if you’re also a fan of creepy Lovecraftian horror, then <strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong> is going to be a winner at your Pathfinder game sessions. Although the adventure-arc does presume to require a serious investment in the <strong><em>Freeport</em></strong>-setting book collection, it can be run in other urban campaign locales of the GM’s choice. The adventures have enough depth to them that players will be able to role-play to their hearts’ content, and can also offer plenty of opportunities for spin-off adventures of the GMs own devising, whether in Freeport or not.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">Although there are some misgivings about the artwork in <strong><em>Dark Deeds in Freeport</em></strong>, there is so much plot and potential side-adventure material that it more than makes up for the disappointing illustrations.
