About the adventure
Set sail on the high seas during the Golden Age of Piracy! As crew members of an East India Trading Company vessel, you’ve been tasked with transporting a “great treasure” across the treacherous Atlantic—an assignment given with suspicious urgency by the Crown. But the ocean is a dangerous place, teeming with pirates, privateers, storms, and secrets best left undisturbed. As rumors spread among the crew of an ancient leviathan that sleeps beneath the waves, strange dreams begin to haunt you. Mutiny brews. Monsters slither through the hull. And at every turn, fate seems to be steering you toward a forgotten horror waiting to rise once more. Will you deliver the treasure—or will you awaken something that should have stayed beneath the sea?

About me
I am personally addicted to world building and watching the stories that unfold within them. I honestly enjoy the fact that players old and new get to interact with unique systems, concepts, and worlds. My personal goal as a GM is to expose players to a larger world of role playing and grant them the chance to see all that it has to offer. I've been playing as a GM for the better part of 5 years with a range of systems and settings however I'm always ready to dive into a new system to for others to enjoy. now, ROLL FOR INITIATIVE SUCKAS !!!
