A new version of our guide for nautical adventures, "When Sea Is Calling", is available as PDF and print!
When Sea Is Calling is a system-neutral OSR-oriented guide for (non-historical) nautical adventures. It is intended for both DMs and solo players. With it, explore the surface and the dark depths of the sea, meet its strange inhabitants, lift terrible curses and get your hands on fabulous treasures!
The purpose of this book is not to generate a sea map. Instead, it is meant to be used with a pre-existing one (and is compatible with Sandbox Generator*). The aim of this supplement is rather to generate encounters during sea voyages.
You can get When Sea Is Calling - A Guide for Nautical Adventures* here. If you are one of our customers and subscribed to our DriveThruRPG newsletter, you should have received a link to get it with a 25% discount ($6 instead of $8).
