Sea of Thieves RPG (MGP70000)

Product Information

If the party accrue enough successes they solve the problem at hand and move on, but if they don’t manage tothe goal within a certain number of rounds they fail and have to deal with the consequences. On top of this, particularly bad rolls can either injure players – taking dice away from their pool – eat through resources or cause further spiralling problems that need to be dealt with. It’s a workable enough system that can be made incredibly flexible with a bit of thought, though it does come with a couple of quirks. As players start rolling more dice things can get very swingy,generating either oodles of success or a tide of horrible failures in a single go, and failing to make much distinction between different characters. We're referring, of course, to the couriers who were delivering copies of the long-awaited Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game, because we enjoy an obvious comedy bait-and-switch as much as anyone. Yes, the time has come to unbox a set of Legendary Dice, grab a mulled grog and some friends and bring the Sea of Thieves experience to your dining table, kitchen counter or any other suitable surface. There’s a pretty solid chance that death won’t be too far away as, while most storytelling games have a fairlylight touch when it comes to killing off

If you're new to TRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, don't worry, you're still part of the target audience. If not, you'll probably know the company making Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game: Mongoose Publishing, the company behind the latest editions of Traveller and Paranoia. The former tabletop game is about going on dangerous voyages for big profits, and the latter is about people ostensibly cooperating to achieve a goal but mostly sabotaging each other in various hilarious ways. In other words, the pedigree's all there for a proper Sea of Thieves experience. Please Note: The Lord Guardian Sails DLC code only comes with the physical box set, not the PDF edition of the Sea of Thieves RPG. Are you seeking grand adventure, mighty sea battles and the glory of the pirate life? Do you have the strength to battle hordes of skeletons, treacherous rogues, and ancient curses? Then get ready to set sail, roll dice, and make your mark upon the Sea of Thieves!characters, Sea of Thieves is positively lethal. Character death can be a consequence for failed tasks and even standard enemies have abilities that can kill multiple party members offoutright. Before you get too distracted by the three sizeable books at the heart of the game, we'd like to share the story of how Sea of Thieves crossed the divide from desktop to tabletop. It's a journey that begins in the notorious pirate haven (or so we'd like to think) of Swindon, Wiltshire, in the offices of Mongoose Publishing– a company already well-known for roleplaying mainstays like Paranoia and Traveller. The Sea of Thieves RPG has received its first major supplement, introducing a number of recent updates from the seafaring video game to its tabletop counterpart.

It’s delightfully silly stuff, but when you begin exploring it some of the ideas that we simply accept when they’re in a video game become a little awkward when it comes to a tabletop RPG. If you find a buried treasure chest, for example, you can’t actually open it yourself – instead, you need to take it to a specialised in-game faction who will trade it for a reward.Big Game Hunter Ship's Crest • Forgotten Temple Ship's Crest • Reaver Ship's Crest • Royal Coronet Ship's Crest • Weeping Waves Ship's Crest A Tale of Two Captains follows two smaller supplements previously released as digital-only expansions that similarly incorporated elements from the PC and Xbox One title. Hunting the White Lady introduced rules for encounters with the sea’s fearsome giant shark Megalodons, along with the ability for player characters to use ship-mounted harpoons. Juliana’s Heart, meanwhile, added a tabletop equivalent to Sea of Thieves’ player-versus-player Arena, plus more detailed ways of handling modular damage to ships and the impact of waves while sailing. It's like the videogame takes some sort of a different aproach to do a pet and paper like RPG, but i think it's cool, but i need to dig deeper and make my own experiences with other players. Athena's Might Cutlass • Blooming Barrel Blunderbuss • Captain Bones' Original Pirate Cutlass • Cursed Adventurer Cutlass • Emerald Ocean Crawler Cutlass • Flamingo Pistol • Frozen Ashes Blunderbuss • Jailor's Cutlass • Launch Crew Eye of Reach • Splash Fight Eye of Reach • Stranger's Cutlass • Sword of Souls • The Ballista Eye of Reach As with all aspects of the Sea of Thieves expanded universe, Mongoose's proposal swiftly found itself before Rare's Head of Brand and Licensing Adam Park, alongside Brand and Licensing Art Director Peter Hentze. Having sampled more than their fair share of tabletop gaming sets at conventions and expos around the world, Peter and Adam were already big fans of Mongoose, and could immediately see the appeal of combining Sea of Thieves' shared-world experience with a roleplaying game centred on a crew adventuring together. Needless to say, it wasn't long before the project was underway.
