Welcome to adventure on the high seas! You are currently reading about Gaming Paper's first sourcebook, full of character options. Herein you will find a multitude of new feats,archetypes,spells,races,and equipment to more accurately reflect adventuring in a setting similar to the golden age of piracy on Earth, but with the fantasy twist common to Pathfinder games.
And the cover is awesome!
Take a look.

We were planning on publishing this in September, but the stars have all aligned and all the elements of the sourcebook were turned in two weeks early! We are going for a GenCon release!
Can't wait.
Thanks for checking it out.
Looking forward to some more greatness from Gaming Paper! I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have gotten so far. Good luck.

Linkified that for you.
And how did you get Clinton Boomer to pose for that cover art?
On board and looking forward to it

That does look like him wearing a Captain Jack Sparrow costume.
It is a striking resemblance. Check out this Gamerati video and see if you agree!
Yesterday I shared with you a new race that is introduced in the Pirate Encyclopedia, the Hekona. The super interesting and intelligent Hekona are just one of three new races introduced in the Pirate Encyclopedia.
Now I will introduce you to one of the eighteen (yep, you read that right - 18) new class options introduced in the Pirate Encyclopedia. Just like with yesterday's Hekona introduction...the specific statistics of this new class option will be published in a second update for "backers eyes only". Meet your new shipboard paladin...or as I call him:
CARPENTER-SURGEON
Much like the cavalier, the traditional paladin doesn't match well with a nautical adventure. However, not all paladins fight evil the same way. Rather than spearheading the charge, some choose to support their fellow soldiers. These paladins are still holy warriors, but they protect their compatriots as fellow defenders of the faith. These paladins take up saw and hammer, rather sword and shield. While most common on the waves, carpenter-surgeons can also be found amongst armies that employ siege engines. Their skill at healing men and weapons, wood, and vehicles makes them a welcome addition to any group.
As suggested by the name, carpenter-surgeons fulfill both those roles on ships.
While all paladins are bound to defend the weak and do battle with evil, not all choose to ride against the darkness with sword in hand. Some holy warriors instead aid their allies in the good fight by making sure they are able to continue fighting. Those who sail the seas are no less warriors than any other, and given the unique perils faced by both military men and those who ship supplies to them, some paladins feel it is their duty to protect crew and ship as well as commander and troops.

Huh first I heard about this kickstart. I do agree about the art too. :)
There is a good reason for that! Against many many peoples advice I am trying to do this Kickstarter in 11 days. I very much want to get this done for GenCon...so I am rushing it.
Two of the many figureheads available in the Pirate Encyclopedia (Kickstarting now!). Very interesting and creative artifacts you won't see anywhere else! Backers of this project will see a couple more fun figureheads in my next update. Want to see more? Consider sponsoring!
THE NYMPH
Aura faint transmutation CL 10
Price
While figureheads of attractive women are quite popular with sailors as a general rule, few can match the workmanship of the Nymph, which is very carefully sculpted to resemble a beautiful fey creature. Even badly beaten and missing its paint, observers would agree it's the finest figurehead they've ever seen. While it never appears to stay with a ship for long, while it's attached, the Nymph brings its ship fantastic luck.
Crew bonus: all crew on the Nymph's ship may reroll 1s they roll on Profession: Sailor skill rolls.
Captain bonus: the recipient of the Nymph's bonus gains +2 on all Charisma-based skills.
Construction Requirements:
Craft Wondrous Item,
THE ROLLING BONES
Aura faint transmutation CL 10
Price
Though not as good as an actual chaplain, this figurehead contains the bones of the saint it depicts, and that saint's god looks favorably on those who sail with this figurehead. He is a god known for appreciating a good prank, though, so the figurehead works even if stolen.
Crew bonus: all crew protected by the Rolling Bones automatically stabilize while aboard the ship.
Captain bonus: the recipient of the Rolling Bones' bonus gains fast healing 1.
Construction Requirements:
Craft Wondrous Item
Only 4 days to go! Gaming Paper needs your help to make their goal. Consider supporting them and get some useful tools for your Pirate-based campaign.
My kickstarter budget, at least for now, is drained: Kaidan, Obsidian Apocalypse and DAD have drained it. :( Pity, I would have liked to support this one as well. If it gets made, I'll be happy to read it!
Darn not looking like this one will get the support in the given time.
Then let's drum up some support!
