Loads of fun and challenges for a 1st level Tunnels and Trolls character that emphasize saving rolls. This is one of those solo adventures that I think about long after I've completed a mission. What if I had gone with the mermaid? Should I have kept the jeweled pin of the other captain? What might have happened if I joined the Pirate Ship instead of the Merchant Ship...?

My only problem with this adventure written by Mark Thornton is that there does not seem to be a Part 2 ! I've earned my naval promotion darn it, where's the next Ocean's Edge adventure Mark ?!?

A Tunnels and Trolls solo for novice characters. There are a number of short missions to complete. Considerable replay value: there are three different ships on which you can serve, and three (mostly) different strands depending on the identity of your immediate superior. A good variety of encounters, although it would have been nice to have some longer missions; perhaps there should be more choices, and less emphasis on saving rolls (skill checks). The port of Esperanto is fun. Accurately written: all the links seem to work. Very occasional typos: e.g. 205, "jib" not job.

Recommended.
