The Wildsea
The Wildsea is a narrative survival-fantasy RPG set on an endless treetop ocean. Using a fast d6 pool with twists, crews sail chainsaw-prowed ships, scavenge, and survive weird hazards. Classless and highly creative, it favors low-prep, fiction-first play with strong setting prompts. Ideal for exploration-forward campaigns.
