Freelancers: A Crossroads Game*

Freelancers: A Crossroads Game squeezes a whole fantasy RPG campaign into one evening. You build a hero, roll funky dice, and need no game master at all.

What's it about?

Humanity is dead and left only garbage and a broken gig economy. You play freelancers who take any job, however nasty. You raid ruins, brave the wilds, and cut down monsters to haul loot back home.

How it plays

A companion app acts as the game master and tells the whole story. It is fully voiced, so the world pulls you right in.

  1. Build your hero from a species and a job.
  2. Roll the odd polyhedral dice.
  3. Follow the app down branching paths.

Five campaigns give you plenty of replay value. The rules stay simple, and prep is short.

Highlights

  • No game master needed, the app runs the show.
  • Fully voiced, fast-paced storytelling.
  • Heroes mixed freely from many species and jobs.

Conclusion

Freelancers suits groups who want RPG adventure with zero prep. If you crave pure board-game strategy or dislike apps at the table, look elsewhere.
