A downloadable game

Sunk Cost is a roleplaying game for 3-5 Freebooters and one Grotto Master set in Cardinal Basin, a fantasy world that suffered an apocalyptic flood. Inside you can find:

  • Rules for three types of characters: fierce Warriors, strange Occultists, and shifty Specialists
  • Submarine customization and upgrades!
  • Three phases of play: Prep for your expedition, Plunder some ruins, then Party the night away!
  • Push yourself beyond your capabilities, slowly losing yourself in the process!
  • The setting of Cardinal Basin, and the intrigue among the Drylander Confederation
  • Guidelines for creating your own monsters of the deep!

Sunk Cost is currently in extremely early access (unfinished) but should be playable. Please hit me up with feedback, I really appreciate it.

First off: “Sunk Cost”? Great name, very evocative, horrific SEO.

Secondly: Freebooter is the best kind of mariner.

Third: Genuinely, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, the character incentive for taking big risks is obviously the chance of a big reward. Therefore I want the party phase to have more weight than anything else. Make of that what you will.

I'm definitely at peace with the lack of SEO. In terms of weight I'm assuming you mean the rewards having more *oomf*, yeah? Atm I'm trying to figure out more ways for Freebooters to flex their wealth besides "Sink it into the submarine" or "Build a castle  station"
