Pirate's Guide to Freeport -- Impressions?

[CaptainChaos]

I was just over at RPGNow and they are doing a Christmas in July sale today and tomorrow. Green Ronin is participating so you can get the Pirate's Guide PDF (and all their other stuff) for 25% off.

Thought you fence sitters might want to know.

I like Freeport (especially the grittier and Cthulhu-mythos elements), and the lack of 3E stats is a huge selling point for me. I bought Goodman's recent Judges Guild remakes, and I think they're great, but I hate buying a book and having a large percentage of it being stat blocks that I won't use. Anyway, I'll definitely pick up the Pirate's Guide.

Yeah, I noticed that myself, and it was enough to get be to buy it.

I've only skimmed through it so far, but I really like what I see! I'm glad I got it. I think that I'll use it for a Rolemaster Classic game in a few months.

I need to know one thing before I give in: Is the map of the 'Freeport world' in color?

Monologuing taken to the next level!

Yes.

Is it cool looking? how big is the world?

Edit: How big are the maps, i.e. how zoomable are they? When printed, how large are they?

Thanks.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. The colours are a bit dark and sombre, but that suits the setting. The continent is about 2500 miles x 2500 miles. As for the world, it's potentially as large as you want it to be...

Actually, I would love to get larger/higher res copies of the PDF maps, especially the city map. Right now, I can't read a few of the street names even when I zoom in, and zoom starts to pixelate at about 180% in Adobe. Perhaps Green Ronin can do an update on the map files at some point.

Otherwise, this is an excellent supplement and can't wait for the True20 guide to come out.

Yeah, I gave in and so far, I'm happy I did. However, I too have problems reading some of the street names and rivers and the like on the continent map in particular.

I do hope that GR will do something. It would be unfortunate if there hould be a blemish on what so far looks like a winnner
