A solid jumping-off point for a campaign, for less than four bucks.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

Morgansfort is a great way to jump into BFRPG. It is a combination of a simple campaign setting, along with three introductory adventures. The biggest and most lethal of these is the Nameless Dungeon, which has three levels of PC-slaughtering challenges. I haven't played through it, but as an experienced gamemaster, I'd wait until BFRPG characters are around level three before throwing them into that particular meat grinder.

The setting isn't mind-blowing, but it's solid. A good GM could flesh it out during play. Only one of the cities, Morgansfort itself, has any detail to it. The rest of the Western Lands are limited to a map and some brief descriptions.

Basically, it's a good jumping off point. I think this book would pair really well with the Adventure Anthology.

And for less than four dollars? Are you kidding me? Gotta love BFRPG.

An old school style of adventure

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Morgansfort is an adventure designed for 2 to 8 players. It is heavily inspired by the D&D classic "Keep on the Borderlands" adventure module.

Pros
It includes 3 sample adventures that are clearly laid out and does not require a ton of prep work to run. I also like that it includes hit boxes for each of the monsters that the GM can track the damage.

Cons
The players are often overwhelmed by the number of monsters (in the 1st adventure there is a room w/ 29 kobolds). Morgansfort doesn't offer any GM advice on how to adjust the number of monsters in a location based on the number of players, so it's up to the GM to figure this out on their own. For an experienced GM it's doable, for a new GM it isn't easy.

Old-School Goodness.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

To say there's a lot of bang for your buck is an understatement. The adventures are well-thought-out, and the background and storylines are engaging. It would probably best suit a DM that has some experience, but I don't think there's any real juggling that even a novice can't work out, if they're familiar with the concepts and rules.

If I had to make a critique, it's that it could stand more artwork, especially some specific to the module. But that's a small thing compared to the quality and cost. Even if you're just looking for ideas for your own campaign, this is well worth it.

Not quite Keep on the Borderlands, but a good fascimile

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is inspired by the famous D&D module, Keep on the Borderlands. That was the beginning adventure that many people started with, and it's often been imitated - a small fort in the wilderness where PCs could venture out and explore from.

Most imitations miss something, but this hits the mark pretty closely.

What Fantasy RPGs should be.

It says "Don't buy this book!" on the back cover, but I say buy all the Basic Fantasy RPG books! It's a great system that really captures the flavor of the old basic and expert D&D box sets.

Excellent product and great value for money.

If you liked Keep on the Borderlands then this will be right up your alley. It has a nicely developed community with several well designed dungeons. Easy to use as a starting point for a campaign. If you want to check out the product you can download the PDF for free. The print version is an excellent product and quite inexpensive.

Fantastic product! It stirs the imagination and begs for the ideas inside to be used, as written, or mined as a part your on-going campaign. I love it!!

Great Setting and interesting opportunities for adventures, would like more detail

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have yet to run it but upon a quick read through its an interesting world and considering what i paid for it, totally worth it. I would like to see more expansion on the rest of the world but I guess that's up to me as the GM at a certain point. I enjoyed reading about all of the different cities/areas and it would be nice to have some more detail (such as layouts and adventures) for the areas outside of morgansfort as well. Overall great for what it is.

One of my groups favourite BFRPG modules

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

One of my groups favourite BFRPG modules, Morgansfort itself is a very well designed base of operations that provides a solid introduction to the game. If you are new to the game I would recommend it as a starting module for both GM and players alike.

While some parts admittedly did feel like mazes built by psychopath wizards with way too much time and money on their hands, It helps keep the players on their toes and allows the GM to build their own story around the area.

On the dungeons in the module, The Old Island Fortress is a pleasure to run for low level characters with a large variety of adversaries as well as some of the staples of the genre and providing several different boss fights for the GM to choose from. The treasure within is of a level that is balanced for the players at levels 1-2 and will keep them lean and hungry for adventure, preventing them from being able to buy all the equipment they would want while still feeling like a sizeable sum.

The Nameless dungeon is also quite fun although I haven't been able to fully run it yet as my players keep getting distracted and moving on to other areas.

The third dungeon is quite short but also interesting, incorporating lots of undead which can be a significant challenge depending on party composition as a wizard that relies primarily on sleep and charm person may soon find themselves severely outmatched.

This is a great way to start adventuring in the Basic Fantasy roleplay world. It is a ready made and populated set of adventures for basic level characters - a great first base to start your players out on their Basic Fantasy careers!

Little more than cost price and the designer of the product is always willing to advise on any detail that is not fully understood. What more can one ask for?

I haven't explored all the content in this campaign yet, but so far it's fantastic, especially considering the price. For what I paid, it is actually cheaper than printing it out on my printer.
