Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Are you seeking grand adventure, mighty sea battles and the glory of the pirate life? Do you have the strength to battle hordes of skeletons, treacherous rogues, and ancient curses? Then get ready to set sail, roll dice, and make your mark upon the Sea of Thieves!

Find your inner pirate in the Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game. Using the new Avast system for quick and easy play, you will race other pirates to buried treasure, fight Skeleton Captains on tropical islands, tackle Voyages for the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls and Merchant Alliance, and brave Megalodons and Krakens as they rise up from the depths to thwart your enterprises.

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. The rules are designed for quick, immersive roleplaying that favours action, problem-solving and above all, fun!

 

The Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game includes: 

  • Book of Pirates: Your introduction to the Sea of Thieves, with a complete Voyage that will teach you everything you need to know about pirating. You’ll be sailing the Sea of Thieves within minutes of opening the box!
  • Lore of the Sea: A nice weighty tome that shows Gamesmasters how to run games and create Voyages, and what treasures and terrors await pirates on the Sea of Thieves.
  • Book of Voyages: A complete campaign for the Sea of Thieves that will have pirates questing for the Ashen Jewels…
  • The Sea of Thieves Poster Map: A giant map of the Sea of Thieves showing every island in the game.
  • Pirate Ledgers: Six cards that show what your pirate is carrying and how close they are to becoming a Pirate Legend.
  • Supply Tokens, Weapons Cards and Quest Cards: Everything a pirate needs to sail a ship, fight enemies, and bring back huge hauls of treasure!

I am interested in this game, but I have no idea what the "Avast" system is. Other posts have requested a preview and a website is listed for a preview (https://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/sotpreview.pdf), but an error message keeps coming back. An internet search either sends me to the Mongoose website or internet security software. Anyone have any luck at getting a look at how this game operates?

Even when the link to the preview worked, it wasn't an especially good preview. Hopefully the notice that the preview is broken may give them an excuse to revisit it.

As a general description from a reader of it, the system itself is relatively "rules light". The system only uses a few d6 dice, with the subtle twist that four custom faces are used. (Two of them appear twice/are assigned neighboring numbers when playing with a cheat sheet instead of the customized dice in the physical sets.) It's a possible reason to favor the physical box set over the PDFs if you would prefer playing with the custom face dice directly rather than a lookup process.

The easiest comparisons are to the Genesys system (the best known system that used a lot of custom-faced dice; this was Fantasy Flight's system that was best known for a somewhat recent Star Wars RPG) and FATE (which uses "standard" Fudge dice, which go way back, but are also custom d6 dice). "Avast" is far more...See more

Please Guys, can you confirm if it comes with the map and quest cards in pdf?

Yes it does. The PDF version includes the 3 books (Book of Pirates, Book of Lore, Book of Voyages), the map (which is gorgeous) and a full print-yourself kit, including game pieces, quest cards, personality cards, regular and full-size ledger cards, weapon cards, supply tokens, a dice-to-symbols cheat sheet, and a printer-friendly version of all the game pieces. It's a full kit.

No full-size preview. The rules preview on the Mongoose site is just a 2-pager that makes no sense. I have never seen game designers so reluctant to actually show their game. Seriously. Is this game supported? Nothing passes the smell test so far for me. I'm really curious about it, but not curious enough to spring $40 on a PDF of completely unknown value.

Is this a real tabletop RPG or some kind of board game with RPG elements?
Where can I see a real set of QuickStart rules?
Where can I see a real preview that shows how it's played?
Are there Actual Play recordings online?
Where's the marketing?

While I wish Mongoose would promote this game more, I want to revisit my questions by at least mentioning that I did buy the printed boxed set, and the production values are amazing. Very beautiful game. It's not a traditional tabletop RPG like D&D. It's more rules-light, and I'd place it halfway between an RPG and a board game.

Is this product marked down or on sale? The HARD COPY is $79.99 and PDF $39.99, probably causing confusion here beyond myself.

Is there a quick start set of rules or something with a little more detail than what's posted on Mongoose's website? It really doesn't have much in the way of rules preview (other than the victories thing). I'd love to pick up a copy but the price tag is pretty steep with so many unknowns.

A tabletop version of Sea Of Thieves is very interesting to me. Will there be any possible future publications such as a "Monster Manual" or a "Dungeon Master's Guide" like they do for Dungeons & Dragons? Would love to purchase this one day and get together with my friends from our Sea Of Thieves games and role-play as our pirate personas! :).

I just noticed on the Mongoose site there are separate order links for the boxed set preorder and just the PDF preorder, but at DriveThru there's only currently the one option (this one). I thought from the email it sounded like this is also for the boxed set preorder. Is this the box set preorder? If not, is there a way to adjust that?

So there are 2 files: SOT_RPG_eBoxset.zip and Sot_RPG_eBoxset.zip
One is slightly larger than other so I guess one of them is an outdated version.
Can you fix that and remove it to avoid confusion?

Is the price, $39,99 for the PDF only?
The email said, "The Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game is available for pre-order, and you will receive the ebook edition immediately so that you can unleash your inner pirate right away!"

Also like asked previously, are there any test drive or preview of the rules?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
