Pirate World Kickstarter! Nov 1st - Dec 3rd
« on: October 27, 2013, 07:29:09 PM »
I've written a Dungeon World supplement all about pirates, ships and sea monsters!



The Kickstarter will go from November the 1st - December 3rd, 2013, and it gives people the chance to grab the 150+ page full colour book as a PDF (£9, approx $15) or as a hardcover book (£33, approx $50 including postage in US). All backer levels give instant access to the playbooks. I'm so excited! It has:

7+ playbooks
BACKGROUNDS (20+); a new, simple way of customising your character from level 1 onwards
HIRELINGS: a total overhaul to DW's hireling system, making each hireling unique with their own personality and custom moves
LUNCHEON WORLD: a guide to playing DW adventures in 30 or so minutes, plus a guide to streamlining DW to play online
MECHANICS: Simple rules for stealing/ commandeering a ship and sailing it around, raiding/ blowing things up/ sinking it
BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS from two awesome artists
AN AWESOME SETTING: a vast, unexplored ocean filled to the brim with unique (playable) races (festering amphibians, terrifying arachs) and crazy takes on traditional races (e.g. a Soviet-style dwarf race who sail in giant ironclads, or an industrial empire fuelled by demonic sacrifices)

I can't wait! I'll be running Pirate World games on the google+ group as of next week after the kickstarter begins!

We reached £3000 in a week! We are powering through the stretch goals:



£3000 Goal: Location Guide
The Pirate World location guide will be in all copies! It includes a ton of location types, each with suggested traps, creatures, inhabitants, treasure and focused Fronts.

Here are some examples of location types: mysterious islands, underwater cities, volcanoes, leviathan corpses used as ships, the black galleons of Enoch's empire. I can't wait to show you guys!

When I first read about this book, I confess I thought "What can you do with such a supplement?!? The Pirate, the Corsair, the Buccaneer, the Ship's Boy... Ok, so what? Everything's better with pirates, but, Enough!"
Then I checked out the Reefmonger, and noticed the tentacles behind the guy on the cover...
Now that I fully understand the truth about the name "Captain Shoggoth", I can say I'm happy to be a backer!
Happy as a cultist kneeling under a grotesque statue of an interstellar abomination. Yarr, Yarr, Cthulhu ftaghn!!

Haha, yeah, the terrifying sea monsters that want to eat your mind are one of my favourite bit about the setting, and writing a class that summons them was so much fun!

There's just one day left to back the project, currently at 500% funded!
