Sartosa
A New Campaign set in the Pirate Isle, and the surrounding islands.
Created by Malte Adamson & Dave Joria
Based on ‘Pirate Warband’ by Tim Huckelbery’
2/1/2022 - Minor update: Updated the Equipment list, as I suddenly recalled that the original version published 14 years ago featured a narrative story that involved rape. This section was written by a guest author, but we take full responsibility for allowing it to make it to final print. We apologize and have removed it: "grimdark" fantasy is not an excuse to feature disturbing material such as this (even when cast in a villainous light), and we will strive to do better in the future. Thank you for your patience.
