From the intro: Sea of Dead Men is a Blades hack about a crew of pirates making their fortune in the lawless Carrascan Sea. There are pitched naval battles, chases, camaraderie, betrayals, deception, swashbucklery, strange magic and lost treasure. We play to find out if our pirate crew can survive and flourish amidst the rival pirates, dark spirits, powerful merchant companies, and royal navies of the Carrascan, or if they will fall beneath the waves as have so many before them.
