NovelFarerThe cove that does not exist: an AI pirate RPG
A ship without a captain. A crew that must vote. A chart nobody can read.
How your story begins
The Black GullYou stand in the Black Gull’s great cabin, aboard a sloop riding at anchor off Port Royal, where the town’s roofs crowd the Jamaican shore beneath a haze of woodsmoke. You are Anne, the ship’s new navigator, signed aboard for a berth and a share; now Captain Vale is gone over the rail, and the crew must choose who takes his place before the ship leaves port. His cabin door stands open, its brass latch still wet with seawater, though the sea is a deck below.
Your first move: tap one, or type your own.

How it plays
Real dice
When it gets risky you throw a d20 yourself. The game shows what you need and what is at stake.
Danger that ticks
Threats grow as time passes and when you fail. When the clock is full, the consequence stays.
A world that remembers
Your items, money, wounds and the map are kept by the rules, not by the storyteller's memory.
People with a memory
Who trusts you, who owes you, whose patience runs out: it counts when you try to persuade them.
