Not sure how to begin a campaign?

Here's one way to start a Swordfish Islands campaign Your past does not matter. About a year ago you got black bagged and thrown in a cell. A dark cell. They said you deserved it. There was a list of allegations. You could recognize the voices of people you knew testifying against you, or at least you thought you could through the hunger and the dark. It wasn't right. It wasn't fair. And that doesn't matter. What matters is that it happened. And here you are. After sitting in the dark for 6 months, the door opened and an impeccably clean person, wearing black pants, black boots, and a bright coat of saffron yellow offered you a deal. Redemption. The Martel Company needs recruits. It will be hard work. And dangerous. But there will be treasure, and you can buy back your good name. In time. They beat you. But they fed you well. They beat you harder. But they gave you equipment. They beat you 'till your bruises bled, but only if you did not o...

The thing about G+

Patrick asked if about people’s feelings on G+ being gone. He doesn't miss it . I do. It took me a few weeks to bring myself to delete the app (and inbox) from my phone, and I still tryto click where it used to be out of force of habit. But what about it do I miss?

A New Map

Hello Everyone, We haven't forgotten this blog. Promise. In fact, we're working on a whole overhaul of the site to make swordfishislands.com a more meaningful and focused experience. Soon™ News Item #1 - A New Map There is a new map of Hot Springs Island by Jason Thompson (@mockman). It is utterly amazing. News Item #2 - Reprint of Hot Springs Island We have completely sold out of the first print run of Hot Springs Island (1500 copies)! Thank you! A reprint is coming, and one of the things we were waiting for was this map. It's going to be incorporated into The Dark of Hot Springs Island. We're also planning to do a poster map of it ('cause omg how could we not?!). It should be coming very soon. No firm date, but it's at the top of the stack of things to get done. News Item #3 - Silent Titans We are publishing Patrick Stuart's new RPG book Silent Titans . We ran a Kickstarter right at the end of 2018, and the book is expected to be comple...
