Actually I'm combining the adventures: Gangs of Freeport with Black Sails o= ver Freeport, Vengeance in Freeport, Crisis in Freeport, and Blood Feud in = Freeport, as well as Curse of the Crimson Throne. It's going to be a blast!= So it is a huge mashup. The desert idea is for another couple of guys who also want to play, but do= n't play well with the others, so I'm running an entire seperate desert cam= paign. The first group (4 players) like working out my adventures. The othe= r pair want to do their own elaborate ideas which won't mesh well with the = other group. Plus if it is only two of them, they can't do Too Much damage = can they?
