ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
We’re about to enter the Sea of Thieves, a place of lawless pirate crews and grand adventures. A place where stories are born – the sort of tall tales real pirates would tell aboard their ships during those long, dark nights at sea. Tales of plunder and peril, curses and Krakens… Upon the Sea of Thieves, all the old legends are true.

Your pirates will have their own story and you will be the ones to tell it… but that does not mean everything will go your way. Whenever your pirates try to do something important we will be using dice to see where the story goes next. The dice do not dictate a specific outcome; they show us how well or badly things went. A good result lets you narrate a moment of triumph and if you get a bad result, well, it happens. Pirates soon learn to roll with the punches.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Find your inner pirate in the Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game. Using the new Avast system for quick and easy play, you will race other pirates to buried treasure, fight Skeleton Captains on tropical islands, tackle Voyages for the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls and Merchant Alliance, and brave Megalodons and Krakens as they rise up from the depths to thwart your enterprises.
