Rapscallion Core Rulebook

The Great Sea is calling, and it does not care if you are ready.

Rapscallion is a story-driven tabletop RPG where you and your friends become a found-family crew of pirates chasing fate, fortune, and each other across a world of magic and mystery. This is not stiff, historical pirate fare. It is anime-inspired swashbuckling with room for haunted captains, bound djinni, sea-sorcerers who made deals they regret, and navigators who stole the heart of the ocean itself.

Ten character playbooks and three ship playbooks mean every crew looks different. Build a captain wrestling with vices and troubles, form real bonds with your crewmates, and let the dice decide how your legend gets told. There is no single "right" kind of hero here, which makes this a favorite for players who have felt boxed out of typical fantasy adventure games.

Inside the 250+ page full color hardcover, you will find easy-to-learn rules built on the Powered by the Apocalypse system, detailed ship-to-ship combat, downtime and relationship mechanics, and guidance for running your own version of the Great Sea, including its Law, Free, and Weird factions.

A great pick for groups who want story first, character drama front and center, and a table where everyone gets to be a little bit of a rogue.
