A pirate’s hoard of original subclasses, lineages, spells, magic items and more await players and DMs within the Seafarer’s Sourcebook! So whether it’s rallying your crew as a College of Shanties Bard , becoming a rare and elusive Stormkin elf of legend, or wielding strange magic items and spells upon the high seas, you have all the options needed to create a game truly unique to the world of Tempest.

A good nautical campaign is all about voyage, and what would voyage be without fantastical locations to travel through and peoples to meet? Tempest features an atlas full of unique islands and cultures as well as guilds and orders for players to get stuck into. Become pirates in search of endless adventure, or perhaps become Spicers of the West Tihini Trade Company to hunt down such outlaws.

You can’t be a captain without a ship and a crew, so in Tempest you’ll be presented with a new system catered around building and maintaining a loyal band of scurvy sea dogs. You’ll be able to fill roles from Captain to Boatswain, and upgrade your ship as adventures progress with magical armaments and defences! All wrapped up in a devilishly minimalistic system that has all the flavour with none of the micromanagement.

Tempest boasts a menagerie of unique creatures of both land, sea and sky-as well as leviathans of legend and ancient long sunken horrors. The bestiary found within the pages of the book are all a sailor needs to have nightmares, and all a DM needs to give them those nightmares! So be careful where you sail upon these dark waters, because all is not as it appears…

At the centre of the world of Tempest is The Great Storm, a swirling maelstrom of unimaginable proportion. Year by year it swallows the surrounding isles inch by inch-slowly lands are disappearing and dark magics spreading further. Where did it come from? What lies at the eye of it all? Questions that can only be answered by those brave or foolish enough to sail into its treacherous waters!

Tempest began as a homebrew setting for a group of friends to escape the troubles of the world, who were looking to try out a much beloved genre of DnD that had never truly gotten the love it deserved. Since then, Tempest has grown alongside that original game into something wonderful with players and DM alike crafting the world together slowly and with love. We’re obsessed with adventuring in Tempest and can’t wait to share that experience with you all!
