- GUMSHOE rules for creating and playing pirate characters
- 2+ full-length scenarios
- Settings, including detailed city descriptions for Havana and Port Royal
- Rules for sandbox play

Much of the content is already written and play tested. We intend to deliver this book via DTRPG before the end of February, 2022, unless Kickstarter performance and stretch goals support further improvements and content development.
The campaign’s more than 2x funded with 13 days left to go.
