Pirate Ledgers:Six cards that show what your pirate is carrying and how close they are to becoming a Pirate Legend.

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. 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. 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.When most video games get adapted to the tabletop they bring acres of fiddly rules with them, so it’s refreshing to see this take on Xbox One and PC game Sea of Thieves ditch the complexity in favour of a light and breezy storytelling game. Once you get playing, however, it’s hard to imagine its appeal extending too far beyond existing fans who are happy to accept some of the setting’s quirkier mechanics. 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. We wanted to do more than a pirate game with Sea of Thieves branding. We wanted to capture the 'essence' of the video game and transpose it, taking advantage of the strengths of tabletop gaming– such as no game-based limits on what players could attempt to do and, of course, using the best 'graphics' in the world! edit: @Amancebacabras i think the dices are somwhat specific because of the symbols they have and also sell a legendary dice set. I knew some people still playing shadowrun P&Per and do LARPS, so maybe they will play with me, because they also play SoT, but very casually as they have other games they play more often.

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. 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! Legendary Dice: Eighteen Legendary Dice that will mark you out as a Pirate Legend or scurvy landlubber!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. 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

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.Hoarders can open treasure chests. This is far from the only example of having game logic clash with the do anything nature of tabletop roleplaying, but it can be a shade disconcerting if you’ve not already bought into the setting.
