With four releases scheduled throughout the month of June, Green Ronin Publishing has their work cut out for them. First we have the sixth in the popular Bleeding Edge series, Escape from Ceranir, in which a party of 6th- to 8th-level characters must find out what happened to the inhabitants of this once-proud citadel, and quell the evil within before it claims them as new victims. Used alone or as part of an ongoing campaign, this adventure is a descent into horror and madness, redefining the concept of the classic dungeon crawl. This 32-page book by Scott Gray retails for $11.95.
The True 20 Narrator’s Kit provides a much needed tool for True 20. Retailing for $19.95, this handy product features a three-panel hardback screen illustrated by Chris Moeller that puts all the essential game info right in front you. The Narrator's Kit also includes a 32-page introductory True20 adventure by Rodney Thompson, "Last Voyage of the Stellar Galleon." In it a crippled starship crashes on a strange planet that's not on any star chart. Meanwhile, a band of brave explorers is summoned to a wizard's tower and charged with the task of recovering a powerful artifact: a golden orb able to transport people to distant worlds. Take the roles of Stellar Galleon crewmen, trying to recover the ship's power core from mutineers and primitive aliens with unearthly powers, or play the fantasy adventurers, trying to take the power core from the wreckage of the downed alien ship. You can play the adventure either way, or both, making it two adventures in one!
Freeport is Green Ronin's signature city setting and has been home to thousands of RPG campaigns since its launch in 2000. The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport is the definitive new sourcebook for the City of Adventure, set 5 years after the events of the original Freeport Trilogy. This is a pure setting book, focusing entirely on the people, places, politics, and perils of Freeport and containing no game statistics of any kind. The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport can thus be used with any fantasy RPG and Green Ronin will be providing companion products for popular systems like True20 and d20. The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport will carry a retail price of $34.95.
Finally, Iron Age takes gamers back to the grim days of the ‘80s and ‘90s, when super-vigilantes in leather and chains dispensed harsh justice. Iron Age looks at the darkest era of comic book history and how you can bring it to life in your Mutants & Masterminds game. It includes an overview of the period, how to create and run Iron Age characters and games, and details on the Iron Age of Green Ronin’s award-winning Freedom City campaign setting. Iron Age is written by Seth Johnson and Jon Leitheusser, and retails for $26.95. [Via GamingReport.com]
