BKG has released the first of their members only freebies and this one is quite the cracker!
It is a fully featured campaign for use with the 1st edition Fantasy Legend Rules but should be easily adapted to the second edition rules when they are released.
Here is a bit of background about the campaign itself:
You are in command of a small force of soldiers of fortune. It has been a hard year, and your last campaign was taxing on you and your men. Many of your soldiers were killed in battle or tired of fighting for too little money. Good work is hard to find and a freelancer is often forced to take less money than he would under better circumstances. You worry that your remaining soldiers will start exploring other options for work and you need a decent paying contract soon.
While traveling through the city of Empey on Faldoria (the Great Northern Continent), you duck into a local public house and overhear two N’Tak sailors talking about a civil war of some sort going on in one of the kingdoms in Pelosia. Apparently the King of Lembeck has died suddenly (either of natural or unnatural causes) without leaving an heir to his throne. Although able to keep this information secret for the last several weeks, Lembeck’s war has gotten out of control, and a returning N’Tak merchantman has brought the news to Empey, along with some very good beer, cloth, and other valuable items!
The N’Tak sailors seem to be very excited about the possibility for profits to be made at Lembeck’s expense and being the enterprising sort you are you figure that a short sea voyage with your force might be just what the doctor ordered. You know, the sea air, the sun, the motion of the ocean. It will be a nice vacation. You’ve earned it after all! And what the hell, if you can take over a small kingdom in the process, BONUS!
So, now you have your plans. First thing to do is go to the local map maker and get a map of Pelosia and Lembeck. Next, you will have to re-build your army. You only have about 5,000 ristari (points) left and after paying a ship’s captain who will take you to Lembeck it will probably be more like 4,000, so you will have to pick the best possible soldiers you can find for that price.
You know that you will have to move quickly. In addition to the N’Tak, who will definitely be returning to Pelosia, there were a lot of soldiers and mercenaries in that tavern and some of them will have exactly the same idea you do. If you are going to get in there and take the kingdom, you’re going to have to be the first one there!

During the course of the campaign you will (hopefully) be taking over towns and cities and using the resource production of those places to start building/hirin better trained and better equipped units and machines of war with the ultimate goal of controlling all of Lembech by taking it's key locations.
This campaign features a fantastically detailed campaign map with hexes with which you can chart the progress of the participants and also the more enterprising of you could use it for a roleplay session or two after the Fantasy Legend RPG is released later on.
Well thats all the information I can give you without giving everything away. Head on over to the BKG website (www.black-knight-games-online.com/), register if you are yet too and check out this great feature!
