Endless Adventures :
Bellevue, Washington - October 8, 2024. Shadowrun, BattleTech, and Crimson Skies creator, Jordan Weisman, has officially launched their Kickstarter for Sea of Legends, a brand new deck-building fantasy-infused pirate-themed isometric CRPG in which the player charts a course for infamy, to rise from scallywag to pirate king of the Caribbean. Players will spit in the eye of the Crowns of Europe, denizens of the deep, the undead, and worse as they set sail for treasure, adventure, and romance in Sea of Legends.
The game, based on the narrative open-world board game created by Zach Weisman and Ryan Schapals, is being created by a team of seasoned developers and storytellers, including Andrew McIntosh (BATTLETECH), Jeffery Campbell, (Darkest Dungeon, Dead Rising 4, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided), Kate Cruz (Ubisoft’s Skull & Bones), Justin Gray (Ascension), and Jordan Weisman himself.
Set in a systems driven dynamic world, players will seek ships to plunder, towns to raid, ancient treasures to discover, lovers to woo, and nemesis to vanquish. Their character development and the crew they recruit will develop the card decks that drive boarding actions, bar fights, deadly duels, and tactical combat against other pirates, Royal Navies, and the unnatural creatures they’ve aligned with.
Community members can now back Sea of Legends starting at $25 with the “Sailor” tier which includes a digital copy of the game or go deeper with tiers such as “Powder Monkey” which includes the game, soundtrack, 4 Digital Wallpapers, and the Art of Sea of Legends PDF book, or “Gunner”, which includes all previous rewards, Beta Access to Sea of Legends, and access to Adventure Forge, the accessible, no-code video game authoring platform that is being used to create Sea of Legends.
For those that want to “get physical” the “Sailing Master” tier includes a bluffing / gambling game with 72 metal coins in an embroidered bag and an old school PC game box, or the “Quartermaster” tier which includes a set of 5 custom 35mm miniatures and a printed copy of the Art of Sea of Legends book.
If players really want to get into the game the “Pirate Captain” lets you create the name and likeness of an NPC, and the “Pirate King” tier lets you work with the design team to create a major NPC for the game.
Players can now support the Kickstarter campaign, wishlist Sea of Legends on Steam, and visit the official website for more information. They can follow Sea of Legends on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.
