Hey.
Thanks again for all of your input!
Now, as I find Freeport still really nice and I love the swashbuckling style of game, I'm thinking about using Neverwinter instead of Freeport.
I've found out that there is the "Neverwinter Campaign Setting" Book from 4th Edition. I've taken a look at that book, but I'm not sure if I like it...
Pro Neverwinter:
-I'm already playing in that region with Lost Mine of Phandelver.
-It's in the Forgotten Realms and is not that a break with the world.
Contra:
-It does not seems that detailed like Freeport.
-The Book seems not to have that many plot hooks (at first glance, but maybe I'm wrong)
-Not sure if I like it as a GM
Pro Freeport:
-Very detailed
-It's a little bit disjunct from the forgotten realms, which means I can focus completely on the city
Contra:
-Not near Phandalin (but I think it's easy enough to get my players there)
-Not sure if my players like it
Waterdeep also catched my interest, but I've looked into the Waterdeep-Book from 3e from a friend, and the book does not inspire me enough.
And most importantly I need a good "book" (or pdf) to look into. I do not like to have too much information splittered around the internet or multiple books.
So... What do you recommend? What do you think?
Neverwinter or Freeport?
Maybe starting in Freeport to see how it goes? Or the other way around? A mixture of Both?
I'm open for your suggestions
best regards
P.s.: Should I put this question into a new thread?
