A library ship, The One-Armed Scissor, is a month overdue for docking at the spit of Three Masks. Your ship & crew is tasked with finding out why.
Description:
The Verdancy happened some centuries ago, a burst of growth & arbor which drank up the seas & ate the salt within. You are a wildsailor, sailing chainprow ships across an ocean of trees, embodying the survivors of humanity, spider hiveminds, fungal folk, sluglike post-humans, & other, stranger things. The Wildsea is a fiction-first RPG that uses d6s as the primary conflict resolution mechanic, similar to Blades in the Dark or the Mutant Year Zero system. The game will be taught & all materials provided. Come check us out on the show floor when you're done playing!
