Campaign Builder: Pirates & Plunder is a complete toolkit for bringing bold, swashbuckling, high-seas adventure to your tabletop roleplaying games.
Designed for Tales of the Valiant and 5th Edition D&D, this book delivers new mechanics, character options, and Game Master resources to help you run unforgettable pirate campaigns—or add nautical flavor to any fantasy world.
From black powder duels and desperate shipwreck escapes to legendary islands and infamous Dread Pirate Lords, Pirates & Plunder gives you everything you need to tell stories of freedom, danger, loot, and glory on the open sea. Your heroes can be noble privateers, cursed cutthroats, or reluctant sailors chasing redemption, with all the freedom and peril of a seafaring life.
Built to be system-flexible, many of its tools—random tables, narrative systems, guidance, and adventure frameworks—can be easily adapted to other fantasy RPGs, making it an invaluable resource for any GM or game looking to chart a course into nautical adventure.
Campaign Builder: Pirates & Plunder isn’t just a collection of options—it’s a genre engine. Every chapter is designed to help tables feel like pirates, from character creation through long-term campaign play.
