Set Sale As A Pirate Of A Shattered World

June 28, 2019 by dracs

A new RPG mixing science-fantasy with swashbuckling adventure has come to Kickstarter in Pirates of a Shattered World.

Pirates of a Shattered World, the newest release from The Polyhedral Knights, is a unique twist on the post-apocalyptic fantasy genre. Taking place in the Fractured Sea---an archipelago filled with monsters and wreckage from the second apocalypse---it puts PCs in the roles of explorers, swashbucklers, science-mages, and brigands in a world of gunpowder, sorcery, altered beasts, and haunted ruins beneath the waves.

The game draws upon sources such as Terry Brooks' Shanara series to create this interesting blend of science fantasy and high seas adventures.

Players will be able to take on the role of many of the Fractured Seas's denizens, including elves, hybrids, hobgoblins, and others.

As I have said many times before, I love me some pirate adventures and this game looks to take that in an interesting direction.

A while a go, I came across a comic series that re-imagined Star Wars as a steampunk swashbuckling adventure. This comic went far further than just giving the series a steampunk makeover and actually created a vibrant, interesting world in its own right and I could see this game being used to play through a similar story.
