There's a Sea of Thieves tabletop RPG on the way

Not content with merely being a video game, a series of novels and comic books, a selection of torsowear for the discerning lady and gent, and also a cup, Rare's piratical multiplayer adventure Sea of Thieves will soon be a tabletop RPG, courtesy of Mongoose Publishing.

The Sea of Thieves Roleplaying Game is, according to Mongoose, a game of "grand adventure, mighty sea battles and the glory of the pirate life", pitting swashbucklers against each other in a race to find treasure, tackle undead crews, and take on quests for the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, and Merchant Alliance. Which is to say, all very much like the video game.

The whole enterprise has been designed for "quick, immersive roleplaying that favours action, problem-solving and above all, fun", and Mongoose promises all the rulebooks and tabletop paraphernalia you'll need to get an evening's adventuring on the high seas underway.
