This all-new Freeport Pathfinder Quick Deal offer presents the Pathfinder First Edition version of the venerable rum-soaked pirate stronghold, Freeport from Green Ronin Publishing.
Freeport is a sandbox setting of classic fantasy mixed with piracy and Lovecraftian horror – of grubby streets and desperate action, where you live on rum and sea biscuits, not waybread and nectar. The supernatural is real but not easily controlled; crime and greed have more sway than curses and spells; pirates may be more dangerous than monsters. It's high adventure and low comedy, piracy and black magic, sunken cities and mad alchemists and thievery and evil cults and political corruption and gang warfare and suspicious lumps in your fish pie. Freeport is the City of Adventure.
Freeport is Green Ronin's signature city setting, home to thousands of RPG campaigns across more than two decades. The city debuted in the short adventure Death in Freeport, released at GenCon 2000 on the same day as the new Third Edition of D&D – as Chris Pramas put it, "at the very epicenter of the d20 explosion. This makes Freeport the oldest Third Edition campaign setting." Green Ronin produced a d20 System product line (featured in our June 2015 Freeport Bundle), then standalone one-and-done sourcebooks for Savage Worlds, Fate, Castles & Crusades, and True20. From its inception Freeport was designed for portability. The first corebook for the setting, The Pirate's Guide to Freeport (2007), was a 256-page systemless sourcebook usable with any game. Freeport is compact: Its environs consist of four islands that can be easily dropped into your world. For ease of compatibility, many references are generic: For example, the major gods are named only by title (God of Knowledge, God of War, etc.). The nearest major landmass is simply called "the Continent." You can customize Freeport as you see fit, and if you want a larger world, an optional chapter provides that too.
To date, Green Ronin's longest tour of the City of Adventure has been its Pathfinder 1E version (2014-19), funded in a February 2013 Kickstarter campaign. "I had a vision of a big, beautiful Freeport hardback in glorious full color," Chris wrote in 2014, "a vision that would have remained but a dream if not for crowdfunding. In 2013 we took Freeport to Kickstarter to see if we could fund this project, and we really didn't know how it was going to go. Was there enough interest in Freeport? Was this something Pathfinder fans wanted? The answer to both questions turned out to be a resounding yes. [...] I would never have guessed back in the year 2000 that my modest 32-page adventure Death in Freeport would establish a company and a game setting of such longevity. Freeport forever!"
The 544-page Freeport: City of Adventure for the Pathfinder RPG provides deep Pathfinder system support and many classes, feats, spells, and magic items. Well supported under skilled line developer Owen KC Stephens, the Pathfinder version lasted five years – much longer than the typical pirate on the docks of Scurveytown.

This isn't something I particularly want, but it's a well-regarded setting and there's a lot of material in the bundle, so if you're planning to buckle a few swashes it may be worth a look.
