Remastered Seafarer’s Sourcebook Delivers 13 Dungeons and Dragons Subclasses - VICE
Tempest: A Seafarer’s Sourcebook is back with a remastered and expanded edition that is jam-packed with new resources to add to Dungeons and Dragons 5e and 5.5e adventures.
Dungeon Masters and players who are planning a swashbuckling adventure in the near future may want to consider checking out the resources included in the newly remastered and expanded edition of Tempest: A Seafarer’s Sourcebook.
One of the most exciting parts of the book for players is going to be the character creation options.
“In Tempest, players can create characters using the book’s selection of unique playable species – including the cephalopodic Cuttlefolk and fish-tailed Mermere – and choose from 13 different subclasses. They can then customise their own ship and crew, before embarking on an epic voyage across a vast ocean filled with dozens upon dozens of different islands to visit, as long as they don’t fall afoul of some titanic sea monster, or a gang of bloodthirsty pirates, or a crew of ghastly undead sailors.”
Additionally, the book also contains new playable races and playable subspecies.
Players can create characters by choosing from a roster of fantastical playable species, such as the monkey-esque Bali; feathered and beaked Kara Kara; semi-aquatic Mermeer; cephalopod-like Cuttlefolk; and the newly introduced Foglin, who are spirits of the sea made flesh. Alternatively, there are several subspecies made for existing DnD 5E species, like the electric Stormkin Elves and volcanic Black Sand Dwarves.
The crowdfunding campaign for the sourcebook hit its goal in under an hour and has already raised more than $46,000. Interested gamers can find a pledge tier for either the hardcover book or a digital version.
