This campaign is perfect for groups who love high-stakes adventure, treasure hunting, and thrilling combat on both land and sea.
Mutiny of the High Seas
The captain has grown power-hungry, and tensions are rising among the crew. Will your party lead a rebellion, side with the captain, or seize command for themselves? Between battles, secret alliances, and sabotage, every decision could change the balance of power on the ship. This campaign is ideal for players who thrive on roleplaying, negotiation, and morally gray choices.
The Ghost Ship Adventure
The party stumbles upon a legendary ghost ship that is said to appear only under the full moon.

Every movement could awaken more of the ship’s dark magic and cause the line between friend and foe to become blurred. Will the party make it out before the sun rises and the full moon disappears? This campaign works well for groups who love suspense, combat, and nautical mysteries.
