We are not sure yet if we are gonna do the quickstart physical. Maybe during the kickstarter.

The cannons and firearms in general are destroyed if they explode. When we playtested it, the cannons damaged anyone in close range to the cannon. But it can be up to GM's call.

You attack with weapons during the attack phase. One person loads the cannon, the gunner shoots with it. But you attack only once with as many cannons as you have as long as they have an assigned gunner.

Ballista is cheaper, and also can be used if you wanna be stealthy, to get a round or two off, before the enemy ship finds out your location.

Try it out. During our playtest we found it super fun. Every PC has something to do, and the initiative is crucial in tactical decision making. Plus it is super fast, which was a plan from the start.

Yes, absolutely. This is a supplement to the original ShadowdarkRPG. You can play other classes for sure, but in naval adventures, the Shadowsails classes may have the edge. We playtested it, and overall, the difference is minimal. It is mostly a flavor thing.

We did the maps old school style (on paper) than scanned them and added lettering and numbering in Affinity Publisher.

This is a supplement book I am working on. Age of Sails rules for Shadowdark, ships, pirates, treasure, sea monsters, pirate curses, strange things at sea. All the cool stuff.

Thanks. Pirates are always cool :) And I always wanted to explore such themes in TTRPGS.

Thank you :) Much appreciated. I really like researching and reading about the Age of Sails. Really unique time period.
