I love the content but the PDF is owner locked so I can't highlight or annotate

My review is based on reading only. I have bought the product in august 2020 when I was looking for another setting that the usual Forgotten Realms.

I liked this product very much, I don't know if I will run adventures in it but I'm impressed by the Quality of the work. The PDF is thorough: you have species, a new class, backgrounds, a full pantheon, a gazetteer of the important kingdoms and a few adventure seeds, you have also new monsters, spell and magic items. The icing on the cake? An introductory adventure with a treasure hunt :).

Clearly it's a very good third-party setting I strongly recommend if you like seafaring swashbuckling adventures!

Finally i got the chance of getting it, and reading it was a literal adventure, the special classes are well balanced and wonderful, the art is amazing and there is a good variety of options for the masters and players to make.

I still think deep sea creatures and a wereanglerfish could have been creatures that will shock players at night. But Weresharks are a great option, and all gargantuan monsters like the sea dragon can do as well. I will follow further playing options provided here like i did on day 1

My players have been clamouring for a nautical adventure for a while now and I have to say, the starter adventure was a blast. And just like the adventure this book has so much great content - different spells and classes and magic items and of course, ships. I particularly enjoy the variant rules around firearms, the feat for wearing less armour (which, in a setting like this, is super flavorful) and the aquatic dwarves. I always felt that the generic 5e spells that are water-themed are a little lacking in flavor, so this book explores it a bit further! One of my players was also super pumped to play the Musketeer (called d'Artagnan, of course!).

Overall, there's a lot of content to play around with and the creators definitely thought about nautical campaigns from multiple angles - the mechanical options are all well designed and make a lot of sense, while bringing some new things to the table. The maps, artwork and layout are all pretty neat and make navigating (sorry) the supplement a lot easier.

I would definitely recommend this book if you are interested in seafaring-themed campaigns.
