The Wildsea: Storm & Root
A downloadable tabletop game
For the average wildsailor, the rustling waves present an endless challenge. There are ruins to explore, cultures to encounter and befriend (or run from), settlements ranging from the meanest spit to the largest city-draped tallshank, and reach upon reach that show off the complexities and oddities of the seascape before them. There's always something new to be found over the horizon, and even for the longest-lived sailors it's likely death will claim them before boredom ever could.
But, for some, that challenge is never quite enough.
They want take to the skies, seeing the waves they know recede into a child's toy. They want to delve deeper than anybody ever should, to places that haven't known light since the Verdancy's earliest days. They want to struggle; to strive.
It's these sailors, these foolhardy, wonderful types, that this expansion caters to.
The Expansion
The 300 pages of Storm & Root focus on two things more than anything else. The skies above the wildsea, and how one might get there, and the deeper reaches of the undercanopy, the sink and the drown. There are a lot of other things thrown in for good measure, of course, but most of the new Bloodlines, Origins, Posts, Hazards, Reaches, and Rules revolve around these two in-play ambitions. Within this book, you'll find...
+ Mechanics for Pressure, the natural consequence of delving deeper than you should
+ Mechanics for Scrutiny, the uncomfortable attention a flying craft draws in a world where they remain something of a rarity
+ Expanded aspects for existing background choices from the core book
+ New background options for the kind of wildsailor that loves to push the boundaries of exploration
+ Hazards and reaches themed not just around the heights and depths, but other unusual areas and presentations of the rustling waves

Hi. Where can I buy a physical version of this in the UK? I missed the Kickstarter (though I did just back Pico! Very excited)
For those that purchase the physical media in stores is there a way to procure a copy of the PDF?
There is indeed, shoot me a message at felixisaacs@thewildsea.co.uk or get in contact with the official Mythworks support team - either of us will happily trade a PDF for a picture of the book in your hands (or, even better, next to a cat)
Now I just need to wrangle Bella haha, I'll see what I can do after I get home from work!
Hi I am a backer from the kickstarter project. If it's alright with you, I would like to secure a backer copy here on itch.io.
Looking forward to your reply
Heya! You should have received a secret link from mythworks at some point to grab a digital copy that's independent of itch.it. I will likely give out itch copies ato backers as well (I know some poeple prefer to have all of their stuff hosted digitally somewhere), but I won't be doing that until the S&R backerkit is completely locked, which is likely near the end of this month or start of next month. Hope that helps!
Great! Awesome news! Looking forward to it!
Is this book going to get a physical retail release?
Yup, currently being printed. :)
