The pitch

An Adventure in Three Tides. Something went into the water off the fishing coast a generation ago, and the village that profited from it has been paying the balance ever since. The Tide-Cursed Treasure takes a party from first spark to level 3 across three linked sessions: a shore-side mystery, a drowned descent, and a reckoning at the turning of the tide.

Everything you need is in the book:

  • Three sessions of keyed, playtested-for-runnability adventure.
  • An original menagerie of sea-horrors you won’t find in any core book.
  • Region and battle maps, GM-facing keys.

Inside the book

Keyed encounters with battle maps built for the table
The Shifting Rune Circuit: a puzzle the GM can actually run
An original bestiary, statted and illustrated
The Brinemoor Coast: the GM's region map
