Freeportiana once again

I've knocked back yet another gaming book last night, with more to come in the next few days, I think. I'm reevaluating what I think I want to read on pdf. I'd put a number of very large books on, and I'm second guessing how much I want to read Sandy Petersen's 5e Cthulhu book, or the 5e Iron Kingdoms update. I mean; I do want to read them, but do I want to read them right now? In fact, after just reading the 5e Book of Fiends, (which seems like a pretty nice update to the 3e Book of Fiends) by Green Ronin (regardless of what you think of the rules; I'm still not well adapted to 5e, but when reading gaming books, I usually skim over mechanics and statblocks anyway) I was reminded of their glory days, before they turned into a parody of stupid wokeness. I was a pretty big fan of Freeport back when it was new, over twenty years ago, and I still have a lot of their product in either pdf or print from the 3e era. I also noticed that the Return to Freeport adventure path for Pathfinder was on sale in omnibus format (pdf) from DriveThruRPG, so I picked it up. If I focus specifically on the adventures that I have, which I think are now most of them, I can get a pretty good Freeport run going. Some of this is in print, but most of it is pdf. In order, I'm planning on reading:

• The revised Freeport Trilogy; the original modules, Death, Terror and Madness in Freeport, if I remember the titles correctly. From way back in the earliest 00s. Before the setting book was even released.
• Crisis in Freeport
• Black Sails Over Freeport
• Vengeance in Freeport
• Dark Wings Over Freeport
• Return to Freeport, ie.
• Curse of the Brine Witch
• The Abyssinial Chain
• Storming the Razor Caves
• The Freebooters' City
• A Storm of Sails
• Traitor's End

I'm not 100% sure that my order is right with some of those middle adventures; Black Sails, Vengeance and Dark Wings, in particular, but I also don't think that the order matters too much there, as I believe that they're mostly stand-alone. If I get them out of order, I can catch up to what it should have been easily enough.

In any case, I think that's probably enough pdf reading (again; they're not all pdfs, but most of them are) to keep me busy for quite some time. Maybe I'll even pick up some of the other non-adventure titles like Cults and Buccaneers or whatever and read them too. And maybe it's even time to read the system-less setting book once again.

I realize that that image isn't a Freeport picture. It's actually the cover art for a Seth Skorkowsky anthology about the Black Raven character, which I've read (and which is... OK.) But it came up on a google image search, so I used it.
