Land of the Free (Cyberpunk)

Land of the Free is a series of five linked adventures[1][2] in which a team of edgerunners (player characters) must extract a young woman, Ariana, from a pharmaceutical laboratory in New York,[1] and then safely deliver her to Night City in California.

[1][2] Ariana is very valuable,[1] and on their road trip, the fugitives will be pursued by airborne mercenaries, river pirates, assassins, religious fanatics, fixers, rockers[1] and the Elvises of Graceland.

[2] In Issue 211 of Dragon, Rick Swan admitted that most previously published adventures for Cyberpunk had been "hit or miss ... most feel like retreads, the contents less interesting than the covers."

Swan thought the text was "well-written", and liked the "generous number of explanatory sidebars (how 21st century airships operate, the future history of the American southwest) and troubleshooting tips (attack routines for cyberdogs, what to do if a PC falls in the water and can't swim)."

Swan concluded by giving this campaign a rating of 5 out of 6, saying, "with a referee capable of smoothing over the rough spots and cooperative players who aren't sticklers for realism, Land of the Free delivers the goods.
