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.
- Build your hero from a species and a job.
- Roll the odd polyhedral dice.
- 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.
