What you need to remember about Bluffside is it's sort of a "homegrown" EN product so it enjoys a lot of support here, but it's worth remembering that it's Freeport that took home the ENnie last year. Here's why I prefer Freeport (and let me just add that I don't think Bluffside is bad or anything, I just like FP better). First, it hearkens back to authors like Robert E. Howard and HP Lovecraft, which gives it a very nice flavor (especially when mixed with the pirate theme). Second, the hardback is a more professional product. Despite a typo here and there, the writing is better, as is the layout, art, and maps. The color poster map is simply awesome. Third, while Bluffside has more locations, Freeport devotes more space to each one. A lot of the Bluffside descriptions are bland (again IMO), consisting of little more than physical descriptions of the buildings. Lastly, the rules material is Freeport is excellent. Cool classes (love the cultist NPC class) and very flavorful magic items. You might want to look at the Green Ronin webpage today too. Chris Pramas gives a New Year's message that mentions that there's going to be new Freeport adventures this year, including a mega adventure. I'm onboard for that!</blockquote>
