The second in the series of sourcebooks spotlighting the three primary roles of True20 Adventure Roleplaying, the Adept's Handbook expands on the role of supernatural powers in the game, looking at alternate ways of handling them and how to customize power-sets to suit different types of adepts, from fantasy sorcerers and priests to sci-fi psionics and modern day psychics and more. It also provides expanded feats, skills, and powers for the adept role. Take your heroes and your adventures to the next level with the True20 Adept's Handbook.

Woo hoo!

Are there any more Freeport supplements, other than new Companions in different systems, on the horizon?

Not for this year. We're busy ramping up for the launch of A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying. We are, however, preparing True20 and d20 stats for the characters in Cults of Freeport and Buccaneers of Freeport. Those will appear on our website.

Good to know.

I'm still waiting to get a copy of Cults of Freeport. My regular FLGS won't likely bring in anymore Freeport stuff, which irks me to no end. There are a couple of other LGSs that say they're willing to bring in Freeport books, but so far I've yet to see them get a copy of Cults of Freeport. They did order in the Pirate's Guide, which I already have, so I'm hopeful that their going to get a copy.

The Pirate's Guide is major league goodness. The more I use it in my campaign, the more I realize has been improved upon from the original sourcebook. It's much more cohesive, more (and better) hooks sprinkled throughout and so on.

At this point, I only have ONE quibble (where the heck is Mazin on the Continent map, and why is it only mentioned in the introductory pages?), which is pretty remarkable for a setting book.

I got a copy of Buccaneers of Freeport today. My FLGS had a copy of the Adept's Handbook too, but I had to choose one or the other. I couldn't afford both (today).

Next month for the Adept's Handbook. (I'm still digesting the main book.)
