So Tief Die Schwere See

Description

A narrative role-playing game set on a sailing ship cruising the waters of the British Isles, in a world consumed by suspicion, sorrow, and despair. Where power struggles can have deadly consequences and people disappear under mysterious circumstances. Through seafaring tales and horror stories, messages from the depths reach your ears. Will you listen to the heartbeat of the ocean or the rhythm of steam-powered machines? Command your ship through a mysterious island world, a historical low-fantasy land full of conflicts. With an extensive introductory adventure, perfect for short campaigns. Featuring ten character booklets (such as the captain, the blind passenger, the ship's doctor, or the old sea dog) and additional motivations (such as pious, outlawed, related, or different). Simple rules system (those familiar with Dungeon World can set sail immediately). Open world: make decisions and chart your own course. Winner of the Indie RPG Awards 2017 for most innovative game. Translation of Alas for the Awful Sea by Hayley Gordon and Vee Hendro (Storybrewers Roleyplaying). Approximately 250 color pages, hardcover in B5 format. Two bookmarks. Translated by Tina Trilitzsch, edited by Verena Busch, layout by Patrick Wittstock, cover by Maria Hecher, image research by Tina Trilitzsch and Stefan Droste, edited by Stefan Droste.
