RPG: Freeport coming to Shadow of the Demon Lord
The fabled City of Adventure makes an appearance in yet another universe…
That’s right folks. Freeport, the City of Adventure, Green Ronin’s setting-neutral fantasy city that has everything from renegade pirates to elder things that should not be lurking in its alleys and waters, is coming to another system.
This time it’s making an appearance in the world under the Shadow of the Demon Lord–an apocalyptic horror fantasy setting, taking place during the last days of a dying world. As you might imagine, the City of Adventure is a perfect fit for the world, with endless opportunities for demons or worse to come crashing through the void and into the city. A Kickstarter for the Freeport Companion for Shadow of the Demon Lord went live earlier this week, and in less than 7 days has managed to raise nearly $30,000.

Freeport: The City of Adventure is one of the most exciting and memorable cities in fantasy tabletop gaming. From the moment Green Ronin Publishing revealed it in the adventure, Death in Freeport, it was clear this setting was unique–a pirate city on the edge of the known world, crawling with orcs, gangs, monsters, and servants of dark and maddening gods. Since that first adventure, Green Ronin has released a slew of support products, adding adventures and supplements that have brought this city to life.
One of the most appealing parts of Freeport, aside from all the blood, carnage, and madness, was how it could fit into any world by simply dropping it in on the edge of the map. When I was working at Green Ronin, we took this idea a step further and made it possible to drop the City of Adventure into any game by publishing The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport—a system-neutral book that could be used with any game, from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay to Rolemaster, and everything in between. In the Companion Series of Freeport books, the setting has been adapted for use in Savage Worlds, Pathfinder, Castles & Crusades, Fate, and more. Now it’s time to bring this classic city to the world of the Demon Lord.
AdvertisementThe Shadow of the Demon Lord Freeport Companion will be loaded with goodies for any fan of the Demon Lord. Inside its pages, you’ll find two new ancestries–the undine and the mysterious serpent people known as the Valossans. The book offers ten new expert and master paths, such as the drunken celebrant and the vicious pit fighter. Over thirty new spells join the game, all speaking to the darkness of the city and the sorts of adventures one might undertake in and around it. New gear and new rules for underwater exploration, voyages, and ship battles all help you run seafaring adventures in Shadow. This book gives you a ton of characters, relics, new monsters, and a big adventure you can use to kick off a new campaign.

If any city was going to survive the apocalypse, it’d probably be Freeport…
