Awaken: A Fifth Edition Island Intrigue Adventure
Awaken: A Fifth Edition Island Intrigue Adventure from Tom Cartos and DMDave is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to five characters of 5th to 7th level and is optimized for a party of four characters with an average party level (APL) of 5. It can serve as a standalone or be incorporated into existing campaigns. Far out in the middle of the ocean stands an island of sand, rock, jungle, and creatures. This island isn’t on any map. It isn’t in any history books. No sea shanties share songs of its existence. No, this island is a total mystery. For centuries, it’s trapped explorers, both domestic and extraterrestrial, within its watery borders. Humanoid, animal, fiend, or celestial, no one has ever been able to escape Mystery Island.

Based on the popular video game available for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, the Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game has everything you need to create exciting pirate tales on the tabletop.
Death in Freeport 5e
20 years ago, Green Ronin Publishing made a name for itself with Death in Freeport, a d20 System adventure released at GenCon the same day as the 3E PHB. It went on to win the very first ENnie Award and the Origins Award for Best RPG Adventure. Return to those halcyon days with this 20th Anniversary Edition of Death in Freeport, now updated to the 5E rules! This classic adventure for low-level characters includes urban sprawl, pirates, and a touch of cosmic horror and has you play as members of the elite Heightened Crime Investigation Unit, solving crimes involving the city’s mutant community.
Abney Park’s Airship Pirates
In Abney Park’s Airship Pirates from Cakebread & Walton it is 2150, and the Earth’s starting to get over the Great Apocalypse of 1906. From the steampunk sky-cities of Isla Aether and High Tortuga, airship pirates ply the clouds, in search of excitement and booty, kept in check only by the might of the Imperial Air Navy.Down below, North America is a wilderness, its beast-haunted wastelands criss-crossed by the tracks of the freedom-loving Neobedouins and the armoured railroads that connect the Emperor’s widely scattered domains. In the walled, smog-shrouded cities, people huddle in forced Victorian squalor, lorded over by the upper classes, while the Emperor’s clockwork policemen patrol the streets and the ultimate threat of the Change Cage hangs over those who would rebel.
Adeline’s Dervish
Adeline’s Dervish from Dread Maps is a 5-level Astral Spell Ship & Pirate Ship filled to the brim with details to fully immerse your players into the narrative. The vessel comes with space, ocean, and transparent background versions so you can mix and match to fit your story. Perfect for a traditional Pirate adventure and sailing the Astral Sea alike.
Pirates of Pugmire
Pirates of Pugmire from Onyx Path Publishing is a chronicle sourcebook for both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau. Life on the sea is different than life in the relative safety of the kingdoms and monarchies. Sailors must face the dangers of hunger, starvation, or becoming hopelessly lost and adrift while the plastic hulls of their boats slowly melt into uselessness.Large portions of the sea remain unexplored and uncharted, denying pirates the assurance of a safe journey home. If treasure is found, there’s always a hostile crew or two out there on the waves, lying in wait to raid returning ships. And twisted corpses of dead sea life animated by Unseen forces haunt the waves. It takes an extra level of grit to brave the Acid Sea. Do you have what it takes?
Bundle Pack: Aquatic Menaces!
Looking for inhabitants to fill the seas, beaches, and ships in your nautical adventures? Look no further than Bundle Pack: Aquatic Menaces! from J.Baptista. This Bundle of four Art Packs includes a whopping 230 water dwellers to drown your players.
Tiny Pirates
Written by the ENnie award winning author Ben Woerner, alongside TinyD6 designer Alan Bahr, Tiny Pirates from Gallant Knight Games introduces a new way to enjoy minimalist roleplaying. Featuring expanded ship rules, an aquatic bestiary, and new archetypes, Tiny Pirates adds nicely to the TinyD6 line, both standing alone as its own game, and combining with other TinyD6 products to add a dash of swashbuckling piracy to all genres!
A Man Among Ye
Finally, in A Man Among Ye from Top Cow Productions Writer STEPHANIE PHILLIPS (Butcher of Paris, Descendent) and artist CRAIG CERMAK (Red Team, Voltron) bring to life the tale of Anne Bonny and Mary Read as they hoist the skull and crossbones, draw cutlasses, and seek a treasure that will make them legends. In an era where sailing with women was thought to be bad luck, Anne and Mary might just be the only women capable of saving the pirates’ way of life.
