Freebooters on the frontier is what I have been looking for for years now. It captures the old school roleplaying feel while not requiring a week to read and penetrate the rules. This is what I was hoping for when I bought Dungeon World. Freebooters gets rid of the parts of Dungeon World I didn't like and adds much that I thought was missing. I am currently playing with my two sons (age 5: Lawful Human Fighter with long legs and a squint and age 8: Good Dwarven Magic-User with white hair and mismatched eyes) and they are having a blast. Two-headed ogres, the ghosts of dead kings, a fallen dark elf empire and rumours of Dragons have kept us up late into the night.

I really loved it. It's a nice addition to The Perilous Wilds. I've added an italian language review of FotF on my blog (recensione in italiano).

You will not be disappointed in your purchase as this is (like all Lampblack & Brimstone products) an extraordinary marriage of deeply considered, well-edited systems with gorgeous art.

Freebooters on the Frontier is to Dungeon World what Dungeon World was to the bevy of games it bested. Here, structure and imagination come together again at last, bringing what players across systems and levels of expertise expect. In my opinion, it is better than raw DW for players of D&D and AD&D because it returns some very familiar mechanics to the table. But it also suits players with other penchants. In fact, with Freebooters, I've united 35-year 1E veterans, leading edge rules-heavy advocates, persona-creating thespians, and even first-time gamer kids under fantastic experience of near-instant fun. The system holds up to longer campaigns as well, especially when combined with the more detailed rules of Lampblack's other DW expansion, The Perilous Wild (previously known as "Perilous Journeys"). I could write a book here encouraging you to take this modest plunge, but I prefer reviews that are short and emphatic. Buy Freebooters, Perilous Wilds, and the other companion products from L&B. I expect that you will be thrilled.
