Explore the roiling seas and psychedelic islands of the Weird Pacific in this OSR-compatible sandbox role-playing game!

Features:
- Sandbox Play- With open-ended exploration and emergent narratives, no two campaigns are alike.
- Trade and Survival- Engage in complex trading systems, manage surpluses and scarcities, and barter for valuable goods like textiles, weapons, and even ships. Survival in this world requires not just brawn, but savvy negotiation and resource management.
- Island Generation- Use real-world Pacific islands as a base and transform them with fantastical elements, historical details, and mythological wonders. Or, generate unique islands with random tables and prompts to discover infinite islands.
- Random Encounters- Encounter the weird and wonderful inhabitants of the land and sea.
- Ruler Creation and Conflict- Every island is governed by a formidable ruler with unique powers and personal flaws. Players must navigate political intrigue, challenge rulers in combat, or outwit them to gain influence and control.
- Detailed Tables and Prompts- Generate islands, rulers, trade goods, and encounters with ease using comprehensive tables and prompts designed to enhance your storytelling and gameplay experience.
- Trade and Survival- Engage in complex trading systems, manage surpluses and scarcities, and barter for valuable goods like textiles, weapons, and even ships. Survival in this world requires not just brawn, but savvy negotiation and resource management.
- System Flexibility- Compatible with OSR and D&D-esque games, this supplement provides the tools needed for flexible and improvisational play, allowing GMs to adapt and expand their campaigns effortlessly, by adding just a few new mechanics rather than having to switch to an all-new game.
- Group Mechanics- Use group checks and saves for collaborative tasks like sailing, fishing, or building ships.
- Mana and Leveling System- Increase your mana through feats of bravery, cunning, and spiritual significance -- and use a new leveling system based on your Mana, not your XP.
- God Interaction Rules- Guidelines for how gods treat you based on your group's actions, adding a divine layer of risk and reward.
- Ship Building and Navigation- Construct and maintain ships to explore the vast Pacific. Use group intelligence checks to build vessels and wisdom checks to navigate the open sea.
