Zeefarer: Zights to Zee

"Maybe if we can figure out what's really going on, we can stop this mutiny and keep our ship out of the Fathomking's grasp."

Zeefarer: Zights to Zee is a scenario for Zeefarer, an adaptation of Failbetter Games and Rowan, Rook and Decard’s Skyfarer for Sunless Sea.

You are the crew of the small merchant steamship the Zightseeker. Your Captain has recently been carrying mysterious cargo to an old friend named Jakob King in Mount Palmerston.

Unfortunately, within a few days of reaching your destination, your captain has suddenly isolated himself in his cabin and refuses to communicate outside of messily scrawled letters to the bo'sun every morning. The ship has also taken a new route, now heading South-East, with the reasoning that the contact has had to flee the island of devils.

The crew does not know where they are going, rumours spread that the Captain is sick, dead or worse, and dissent is rising among the zailors. Mutiny is on the air and answers are needed.

“The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human recklessness.” - Joseph Conrad

What is Zeefarer?

Forty years ago, London was stolen by bats.

Now it resides underground in the Neath, where Hell is close, immortality is cheap, and the screaming has largely stopped. Here you make your living as a Zeefarer, working on board a ship sailing the great dark Unterzee. Set sail for the unknown in a game of discovery, loneliness and death.

LOSE YOUR MIND. EAT YOUR CREW. DIE.
