There are new [B]5e[/B] rules including ship building and naval combat. Once I saw the artwork, I got the [B]D&D[/B] nature they were striving for. If [B]5e[/B] is your jam and you’re looking for some naval options, the visuals for this campaign will pull you in as you prepare for pirating and nautical treasures.

In the city of Dis, the magistrates have plundered the city’s wealth and it’s up to you to recover it. The ministers stole using the power of the Soul Coins that fall from the “eyes of the unliving and undying Empress of Thieves.” It’s a unique world and a unique system. If you’re looking for an RPG of ledges and ledgers, this is waiting for you.

[*][B]SYSTEM(S)[/B]: An original OSR system [*][B]PROJECT TYPE[/B]: Core role pamphlets [*][B]MOST POPULAR PLEDGE[/B]: $5 for both of the one-page PDF mini-zines [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] This project is a rules lite brutal OSR fantasy RPG offered as two one-page pamphlets. Each piece of paper folds into a mini-zine with eight “pages” that measure 2.75” by 4.25” each. The format for these zines uses Matt Kay’s [URL='https://3skulls.itch.io/pocketfold']pocketfold zine[/URL] pocketmod design. The zines are the [I][B]Player's Manual[/B][/I] which unfolds into a character sheet and the [I][B]Harbinger's Oracle [/B][/I]which unfolds to reveal random tables of trials and tribulations. This takes the pamphlet RPG format and reimagines it as a smaller booklet. If OSR and easily printed RPGs speak to you, this campaign is worth checking out.
