We have posted a PDF Preview of the Scurvytown chapter of Pirate’s Guide to Freeport.
“If the stories told in far-flung ports about Freeport were true, visitors would be gutted like fish the moment they strode down the gangplank of an arriving ship. While newcomers quickly learn Freeport is far more than a collection of bloodthirsty pirates, one place fits the city’s image like a glove: Scurvytown. This district is officially named the Freebooter’s Quarter in documents, but no one off the boat less than a week uses that name. The decrepit condition, lawless population, and grinding poverty of the place earned it the nickname Scurvytown decades ago, and the name stuck.”
Black Snake Dawn, previously only available in the Thieves’ World RPG Gift Set, is now available in PDF and print format in our Green Ronin Online Store and elsewhere.
This Classic-era Thieves’ World adventure sheds light on the city of Sanctuary during one of its most dire and dynamic eras. When Molin Torchholder rounds up the player characters to investigate the disappearance of a visiting noble’s daughter, the adventurers must navigate a quagmire of intrigue and corruption, wend their way through the combat zones of the city, avoid death squads, thwart terrorists, and forge alliances with the different power groups if they hope to succeed on their mission. And they must do it all before the first rays of the Black Snake Dawn scorch the horizon. Black Snake Dawn is a d20 System adventure for four to six characters of 9th level. Get yours today!

Each year the GROG, or Guide du Roliste Galactique, chooses the best game, game line, or setting to honor with the Grog d’Or award, and for 2006 they have chosen Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!

GREEN RONIN TO PUBLISH A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE RPG
Industry Leader to do RPG Adaptation of Best Selling Fantasy Series
April 24, 2007–SEATTLE, WA: Green Ronin Publishing has reached an agreement with New York Times bestselling author George R.R. Martin to license his fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire. Green Ronin will publish a roleplaying game in 2008 that will allow fans of the series to have their own exciting adventures in Westeros. Subsequent books will continue to explore the world and characters of A Song of Ice and Fire.
"A Song of Ice and Fire is the most exciting thing to happen in fantasy fiction in decades," said Green Ronin President Chris Pramas, "and we are thrilled to be able to bring it back to the gaming world."
"I’ve had a lot of interest in the role-playing rights to A Song of Ice and Fire since they became available once again," said George R.R. Martin. "There were days I felt like Scarlett O’Hara at the Twelve Oaks barbeque. In the end, though, the enthusiasm and professionalism of the folks at Green Ronin convinced me that was the place to go. I’ve seen the quality of the games that Green Ronin puts out, and the care that they put into them, and I’m eager to see what they do with the world of Westeros and A Song of Ice and Fire. I think my fans and readers will be pleased."
Green Ronin has already done successful RPG adaptations of fantasy classics like Thieves’ World and the Black Company. "Creating a great RPG for A Song of Ice and Fire seemed like the perfect next step," added Pramas. "2008 is going to be a great year for fans of George R.R. Martin’s work."
About George R.R. Martin
George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally ever since. He has written fantasy, horror, and science fiction, and for his sins spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer/producer, working on Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid 90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he’s allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris and two cats named Augustus and Caligula who think they run the place.

"The deluxe edition expands the game for those who are already Faery’s Tale fans, and offers a fantastic opportunity to reach a much bigger audience," said Patrick Sweeney, president of Firefly Games. "I look forward to working with Green Ronin to help introduce the next generation to our hobby."
