Message: <blockquote data-quote="peteyfrogboy" data-source="post: 1086347" data-attributes="member: 5677">I have wanted to run a city-based campaign for a long time, but the task of creating a city from whole cloth is more than I have the time or ability to undertake. I'd looked at a few city sourcebooks, but never found one that really spoke to me. In all honesty, when Freeport: City Of Adventure spoke to me, it said "I'm 70% off!" so it was hard to resist. After digesting the content of the book, however, I was hooked. Soon after starting the campaign everyone in the gaming group went to see Pirates of the Caribbean, which didn't hurt any.I've tried to run campaigns before, in both published and homebrew worlds, always with limited success. This was something of a last attempt to get a campaign off the ground, so when I created the world around Freeport I threw every idea I had ever had into it. The world outside of Freeport itself is only roughly defined and primarily exists to give a cultural context. The specifics can be found <a href="http://www.houseofpung.net/ff/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I've changed a few things here and there and added a whole lot of people, places, and organizations. I decided against using gunpowder -- it's bad enough just having wizards around without having to worry about everybody else blowing stuff up.The campaign began in a piecemeal fashion. In fact, to this point there hasn't been a single session with all characters present. More on that later. One of the joys of a city based campaign is that I can easily leave people out of a particular adventure without having to spend lots of time getting everybody back together again.Anyway, on to the story!</blockquote>
