The Porvenir—missing for weeks, feared lost—has mysteriously returned, anchored at the uninhabited island Fellcay and without a crew. And yet all that F. V. Co.'s owner wants from the ship are a dozen small crates in its hold… She invites a group of adventurers to climb aboard the great vessel and hack their way through a horde of undead sailors, a headless seahorseman, eels wearing dead men's skeletons as exo-suits, and even the ship itself, all in the name of profit. Who will heed the call? And what will they ultimately choose to do with the Porvenir's dread cargo?
This spooktacular adventure for 3–6 6th-level characters was designed by Luke Stratton (Limithron) and Wythe Marschall (Stillfleet) and brought to life by a community of Patreon creators.
Adventure: Stillfleet
Wythe is a writer, social scientist, and game designer. He wrote a bio-horror pirate adventure because he loves collaborating with other game designers, and he loves Moby-Dick. Most of the time, Wythe writes for his own game: Stillfleet is a grimdark, OSR-ish tabletop RPG about exploring ruined spacecraft and habitable earth-like exoplanets, cut off from contact with Terra for decades or centuries. Spaceships are dungeons, hanging in the dark…
Monster Stats: It's A DnD Monster Now
ItsADnDMonsterNow creates unique combat encounters for their patrons and is a staple in the D&D homebrew community. Patrons receive exclusive monsters and access to the growing IADnDMN compendium!
Maps, Tokens, and Layout by Limithron
Luke has been fascinated with swashbucklers and the Golden Age of Piracy ever since he first rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride when he was 5. He’s played every version of Sid Meier’s Pirates and has achieved 100% completion in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. To Luke, The Secret of Monkey Island is more like a way of life than a computer game. Now he makes pirate themed maps and assets as Limithron, which is Sindarin for "Light Wizard". He is also a concert lighting designer.
This release includes a heavily modified version of the massive 56x46 1st Rate Ship of the Line, as well as tokens, layovers, and a fun Naval Mini-game!
A note to Patrons: there are no tier rewards for this release as I wanted everyone to be able to play this adventure as we intended it. Thank you for your support, as I've spent over a month on this project! There is lots more Halloween stuff coming this month, too!
