I'm excited to see this one up! I think the added islands, the pirate lords and other NPCs, plus the ship templates and aboleth glyphs really make this a sleeper hit. It's packed with a lot of fun stuff, and the thalassic template means you can create terrible minions of the sea who represent even deeper, darker powers-- which is what I like in my minions.

Thanks for getting it posted!

-Ben.

I should add, this is a bolus of supplementary material from Journeys to the West for use with it or another pirate/nautical exploration book. It's stand-alone, in that the material doesn't require the other texts, and I think all of the material is pretty fun and useful, but it really shines when used as a complement to Journeys.

-Ben.

I'm quite fond of this one, especially the aboleth glyphs and the extra island writeups.

Might make a very interesting surprise for the players if you were, say, playing a somewhat nautical adventure path.

I was very happy with this book, too. Fun read.

PaizoCon attendees who played "Into the Boiling Bay" will be pleased to see the Rum Gremlins. :) And the Behtu from KQ22 are in here! What pirate game doesn't need rum gremlins and demon apes?

-Ben.

There is a terrific art preview for this book up on the artist's site. Seven images of seafaring adventurers, ships, and monsters!

Huh. I don't remember seeing the squid figurehead in the book, but that's probably just me. I really like it! Guido has done a fantastic and piratey job with these!

If I'm not mistaken, that illustration is in the Magic section (it's one of the ship magic items I think ... )

I agree, Guido did a great job - he's becoming one of my favorites to work with in fact :)

I was impressed by the aboleth glyphs. Also Marc Radle did a very solid job on the layout.

Marc did a great job! I like the trade dress on it.

The aboleth glyphs use the same mechanics as the Runes in Northlands, so you can build off of them or establish links, if you want.

How easy would it be be use this with Skull & Shackles?

It would fit in quite well, I think. The Shackles are filled with innumerable small islands, and many of the personalities contained herein would be a great addition to the Adventure Path.

I think Liz said it perfectly!

Oh, and thanks very much for the nice words Steve and Ben :)

I don't see maps for Palau kelaparan and Umbrasca? or am i just missing them?

Some are being worked on, so there should be an update at some point.

And reviewed here, on DTRPG, submitted to Nerdtrek and sent to GMS magazine. Cheers!

Glad you liked it! Ben did a good job of pulling all the material together, and he did the ship templates.

Yeah, Ben usually does! But so do you - the Journeys-review is coming soon, I'm still savoring the content! :)

I look forward to reading that review! Thanks.

Me too :)

And yes, Ben and Christina rock! It's always a pleasure working with them!

And Marc does a great job on layout! That's why I'm hiring him to do my lycanthrope Kickstarter book! :)

Thank you for the review, Endzeitgeist!

Yes, thank you! I'm glad you noticed the relation with the Northlands glyphs. I wanted it extensible, and it looks like it was! :D

-Ben.

Any word of progress on the maps?

Yes, the ocean map is done. The extra island maps are in progress.

w00t!

Any word on if any are coming to the iPad app?

Unlikely that the islands are going to appear on the iPad app. The developer is caught in other issues that are likely to delay the addition of new cities and islands until later in the year.

Thanks for the reply. I hope he is OK.

He's fine but lacking time to devote to the app for now. I hope things will smooth out later this year.
