50 Fathoms Explorer’s Edition

What will surely become the most feared book in the high seas Pinnacle has released the Explorer’s Edition of 50 Fathoms.  This has been our stable of settings to try for some time now, we keep eye balling it in a way one does when they have a stack of other games to try.  As we’ve been cycling in more games and it is… On sale…

The world is drowning. The natives say three witches in Ograpog were sentenced to death by King Amemnus and drowned by the rising tide. With their dying breath, they cursed Caribdus to drown as they were, to drown in fifty fathoms of cold dark sea.

Crab-like scurillians, massive grael, lonely doreen, mysterious kraken, cruel kehana, and the nigh-human masaquani now sail the seas beside the new visitors—humans from the age of piracy, dashing corsairs, bloodthirsty bucaneers, and savage sea dogs drawn from earth. Many believe these visitors to be destined to defeat the Sea Hags and save Caribdus from a watery grave, but most seem interested only in the plunder of forgotten treasures in a drowning world.

Be the hero you were meant to be. Sail the seas. Buckle your swashes. Fight the good fight. Save the world. Come to Caribdus.

New Pinnacle Fiction Line

Personally I love good fluff.  An RPG book can be make or break on the fluff of the adventures.  To much, your quickly turned off, to little you’re not invested enough, and for those of you who can’t get enough Pinnacle announced a new line, Fiction.  They’ve culled their writers to produce books by the dozen for their settings.  The latest this week is the trilogy The Legend of Kyla Kidd.

The Legend of Kyla Kidd I: Through the Mists

The world of Caribdus is drowning—cursed by three vengeful Sea Hags. Dozens of island nations have already been destroyed and the races beneath the Shimmering Seas have been ravaged by their drifting ruins and turbulent tides. Through the mists at the center of this catastrophe drifts ships bearing strangers—time-tossed visitors from earth. One of these is Kyla Kidd, fast on the trail of her long-lost father Captain William Kidd. But is she seeking to clear his name? Or find his much-rumored treasure? And is the treasure merely gold and jewels, or something far more amazing… Kyla’s journeys will take her into the heart of the Devil’s Cross—home of the Sea Hags—where she battles betrayal, savage monsters, and horrors beyond imagining in this three-part trilogy written by Tony “Salty Sea Dog” Lee and beautifully illustrated in full-color by Richard “Keelhaulin’” Clark.

Having promised a review of 50 Fathoms, I am now obliged to provide one. This is an honor I do not take lightly. I may not be the first to have reviewed this game. In fact, I could probably save myself a truck load of work if I just did a Google search and found [...]
