Description

A Spanish ship hunting pirates and an English vessel carrying members of the Royal Society are both suddenly caught in a powerful storm that blew up out of nowhere. It eventually becalms them in the middle of the Sargasso Sea, damaged and with compromised supplies. To everyone's surprise, a motley collection of survivors already inhabit one of the surrounding hulks.

Maybe, between them, they can get one or more ships repaired and find a way to leave. But first, they have to find some common language and what it is that brought them, and is keeping them, here.

This is not a historically accurate game: expect fantastical plot elements and anachronisms.


It is my intention to distribute the character sheets at the start of the game. However, all of the characters have been aboard a ship sailing the Atlantic during the Age of Sail, before being stranded in the Sargasso. Hopefully, this is enough to enable costuming.
