Dark Tides

Created by helle and The Gaudy Goblin

Something or someone is trying to warn you. It is written in the tides, in the eddies formed in the sand as the waves push to and fro as you walk past the docks. But you cannot read these signs.

You are the proud captain of a trading vessel soon to set sail from Europe to India in the year 1903. You have sailed this route before and you know it can take over a month. You command one of the finest ships at the dock (it’s even equipped with a telegraph!).

Your ship will mysteriously disappear on this voyage. Your ship’s log will be the only record of what happened, and hopefully, someone will find it to learn what fate befell you and your crew.

How it works

Use tarot cards and dice to determine your crew members and the types of encounters you'll have on your voyage. Use journalling and a 3-act structure to write your story.
