John Davies sure takes up a lot of air in New Caribbea!
If you're looking to get away from it all and live the life of a homesick deck-swabber, an incompetent but oh-so-excellent-pretender merchant Captain, or an armed-to-the-teeth (literally) disgraced Thane for an afternoon, we're giving you the tools: A TTRPG one-pager meant to satisfy that deeper exploration itch that only role playing can scratch. Your mind is the limit!
LIVE PLAY THROUGH TONIGHT!
We also have some great news for play throughs! Our latest prototypes have made it out into the hands of reviewers.
The wonderful folks over at Co-op Guild are live streaming the physical game of Red Tides tonight (July 9th) at 9:00 PM Eastern! Make sure you tune in!
Oh! And how about a little lore to go with that TTRPG stuff? The Salt Stained Journal a document from an unknown author that appears to capture many pivotal moments in the history of John Davies’ New Carribea. The first published entry can be found HERE.
THANK YOU AND CALL TO ACTION! I don't think we'll ever stop saying it, we are so grateful for your trust and support. The energy you gives us to make sure this is the best-pirate-experience-in-a-board-game possible is huge. Please continue to share with other people, post on Reddit and BGG, on socials, and wherever there might be someone who hasn't heard of Red Tides.
My oh my! These folks here are good folks. They joined the crew and pushed the project up over 400%. That's a cool number but more importantly, it's stretch goal time! Come join the fun!
Toughen Your Dice!
The seas can be rough and so can your dice rolls. We're upgrading to injection-molded dice so every face stays sharp, clear, and satisfying for years to come. Built to withstand the clickity-clack of 20+ die volleys over thousands of rolls. With over 100 dice in the game, and many folks buying extras, this is a huge one and we're pumped we reached a level where this is feasible!
What is Injection Molding? Many games that have anywhere close to this many dice use heat transfer printing and we were going to, as well. Heat transfer printed dice can be great but after a few hundred rolls, you might start to see fading.
Injection-molded dice, on the other hand, are the real deal: tougher, clearer, and built to take a beating. We're upgrading to those, so Red Tides rolls stay sharp for years.
