There are a hundred reasons to take your players on a pirate adventure across the seas, and once you do you’ll need your pirate treasure.
Pirates should be synonymous with D&D. The time period, the adventure, the treasure, the ability to be a roving freelancer-slash-criminal. It feels like people are hesitant to take their adventures to the high seas, but there are some great monsters out there. So let’s all grab this treasure and join a pirate crew.
Pirate Dice
If you’re looking for D&D swag in a theme, dice are always a great place to start. And these are pretty unique, very cool, and entirely on theme. These dice look like treasure submerged in water with the gold on blue. And with pirate imagery of skulls and crossbones, treasure, and swords, is very piratey.
Raft Terrain
If you’re adventuring on the ocean, you’re going to need a boat. Sure, the ocean is dark, and you can’t see the monsters that live down there. But there’s treasure out there somewhere,e and we’re going to find it. This boat is gridded out just like all of our favorite battle maps, so you’ll always know where all of your friends are around the ship… and how far away the enemy is standing.
Ghosts Of Saltmarsh
If you want to run a nautical adventure but don’t know where to start, Ghosts of Saltmarsh has you covered. This adventure involves drowned sailors, chops hidden in secret coves, and dark magic. Wizards’ pre-written adventures are always pretty darn good, and if you’re nervous about taking your players to the sea, this is a great place to get your sea legs. At this time the physical book is a bit hard to find, but Amazon is offering a digital code for D&D Beyond use.
Sea Skull Dice
When we think of pirate imagery, few things are as prevalent or consistent as a good old-fashioned skull and crossbones. Followed pretty closely by treasure. And these dice have it all. A piratey skull on some very shiny coins and jewels is one of the most pirate thing I can think of. And the blue resin surrounding it all makes this treasure look especially waterlogged and treacherous.
Pirate Minis
And finally, you’re going to need a mini or two for your new ocean lifestyle. What’s your current mini look like? What’s your character wearing? Are they dressed for the ocean? I bet not! And your DM is going to need a whole slew of crew and foes. Yeah, you’re going to want to stock up on lots of miniature plastic pirates to paint.
Have you played a pirate-themed D&D game before? What kind of sailor or sea dog would you play with friends around your gaming table? Do you think your character would like an adventure at sea, or do they prefer solid ground? Let us know in the comments!
