[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8790365, member: 11760"] Yeah, I should have said: The Pirate's Guide to Freeport is the second edition and my recommendation. Pick up Black Sails in PDF, if you can. The adventure is just OK -- it gets a little jokey at parts again, which doesn't fit well with the rest of the tone -- but it also details both the main pirate god of the setting [I]and[/I] the extremely evil forbidden earlier pirate god who comes roaring back in the mega-adventure. I find both to be essential world-building elements of Freeport. If I didn't own/love Freeport, I would be very tempted by Razor Coast, because I need more fantasy Polynesia in my life. Also note that Chris Pramas [I]loves[/I] the Cthulhu Mythos, and there are a number of overt mythos elements in the Freeport Trilogy and subsequent setting. That's probably a big plus for a lot of people, but if isn't, note that there are literal serpent people and the Yellow Sign from the mythos. I dialed that stuff back, myself, since I'm kind of over it, but it's an easy dial to spin back and forth, as preferred. (If I had to do it over, I would have made all the serpent people into Yuan-Ti and had the plot of the Freeport Trilogy involve Yuan-Ti lore instead, for instance.) [/QUOTE]
