Freeport Read Order

[Desdichado]

I noticed that the Return to Freeport compilation (Pathfinder style adventure path written by Green Ronin in their flagship setting from back in the day) was on sale 30% pdf on DriveThru, so I picked it up. I'm thinking of pulling up a lot of my old stuff and reading the adventures at least (and then maybe I'll look at other Freeport material too, but first, let's do the adventures) in order. I'm not 100% sure that I've got everything, though, or that my order is correct.

First off, I've long had a pdf of the Anniversary Edition Freeport Trilogy, so that's clearly first.

Second is, I believe, Crisis in Freeport.

The next three, I'm not sure of the order, but maybe it doesn't matter too much. Maybe Vengeance comes before Crisis, even? Not 100% sure.

Vengeance in Freeport
Black Sails Over Freeport,
Dark Wings Over Freeport

And then, of course, the six adventures of the Return to Freeport Adventure Path, which I have in a single pdf volume courtesy of DTRPG.

Am I missing anything? Any suggestions on what to add, or how to change up the order in the middle? Did I get that wrong?

This is just a module read-through; it's not super important or anything. But I'd like to read them in order, if I can, and what the heck; sounds fun. I'm probably due for a re-read of the system-less setting book again too. I still like that a lot. And I know that I've got some other non-adventure products; Cults, Creatures, and Buccaneers, and some of the companions. What's Freeport Bestiary all about? Is it just a Pathfinder update to Creatures of Freeport? And I don't think I have Tales of Freeport or Denizens of Freeport. The former is just a fiction anthology, though, right? Not a game product?

EDIT: I notice you can get pretty much every Freeport product ever in this megabundle. Because I already have most of them, some of them in print even, it didn't seem like it was for me, but if you never did, this is a decent deal.

March Madness in Freeport Digital Mega-Bundle

The March Madness in Freeport Digital Mega-Bundle features 50 digital products (71 PDF, MOBI, and EPUB files) worth a total of $421.14 for just $49.99!

Maybe I can get the Lost Island just to be a completionist.

SECOND EDIT: So, it looks like Tales of Freeport is an adventure anthology. It's on sale on DriveThru too, so I'll probably pick it up. I also notice that there are some additional third party Freeport adventures; a bundle by Adamant with three modules, and a Pathfinder mini (?) adventure path called Dark Deeds in Freeport. I can add all three of those plus Denizens, which I seem to have missed somehow when it was out before, for about $26 on DriveThru, so I'll probably go ahead and do that right now. I'm thinking that the third party adventures, if I try to put them in the order, probably don't fit within it per se, so I'll read them later.

Given the level progression, this seems to be the correct order

Death in Freeport 1-3
Terror in Freeport 2-5
Madness in Freeport 4-6
Vengenace in Freeport 6-7
Crisis in Freeport 7-9

Crisis in Freeport says

"Welcome to Crisis in Freeport, the seventh in Green Ronin’s series of d20 System adventures set in the “City of Adventure.” This adventure is special because it marks the end of the story begun in 2000 with Death in Freeport. Does this mean that Freeport’s run has come to an end? Hell, no. What it does mean is that Green Ronin is going to be re-launching Freeport late in 2006, advancing the timeline five years and establishing a new baseline for Freeport adventuring. Crisis in Freeport ends the first chapter of the setting’s story, but a new chapter is already on the horizon."

It might be worth peeking at the introductory information in Black Sails, as it reveals some setting lore (maybe retcons it, but it doesn't really change anything, other than add specifics, and I think of retcons as changing existing facts) that I think might be valuable when you read earlier mentions of The Pirate God.

Oh, I've had Black Sails for a long time and I've read it before. That's not a bad idea, though. I was a little surprised that their website didn't have a recommended play order, though.

I notice Hell in Freeport is completely missing from their online catalog, the Freeport bundle, Drive Thru, etc. Anyone know why? I can buy a used hard copy easily enough, but I find that very curious. Did it somehow fall afoul of some debacle?
