Freeport and BotR

Postby Gold Katana » Mon Oct 21, 2002 7:15 am

Hi all!
I bought Devils, Demons, and BotR. Now, with these wonderful supplements on-hand, I want to begin a Freeport campaign. I am working on buying the Freeport source book and the adventures. Here's my question, aren't the BotR gods used with the Freeport setting? From some of the posts, it seems they don't mesh. I was hoping to get an intergrated campaign by purchasing all Green Ronin products. :-?

One must remember that Freeport is meant to be in any fantasy setting and came out quite a while before BoTR. Because of this, the two are very easy to mesh as Freeport doesn't have any named gods in many of hte modules/adventurers and you can plug and play BoTR right into it.

God of Knowledge (Freeport) = Tinel (Book of the Righteous)
God of the Sea (F) = Shalimyr (BotR)
God of Pirates (F) = DM's Option - CE cult of Darmon or Thallos (BotR)
Warriors (F) = Terak (BotR)

Other mentioned churches in Freeport:

Yig (Freeport) = See the Tree of Life support site for ideas in the mythology section.
Murder (Freeport) = Canarak (BotR)
Unspeakable One (Freeport) = Again, see Tree of Life support site for ideas.
Retribution & Justice (Freeport) = Maal (BotR)

The area where the two aren't directly analagous is Yig and the Unspeakable One simply because these are very Freeport-specific and we wanted to keep BotR open to all campaigns. However, since publication, Joe Kushner has kindly provided some excellent ideas for who these gods might be within the BotR cosmology.

Here's the URL for the Tree of Life:
