Tiny Pirates: Second Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Arrrrgggh....ya ready to sail the high seas in search of plunder!?

The minimalist TinyD6 ruleset gets salty as it hits the Age of Sail and Golden Age of Piracy in search of treasure. 

Written by the ENnie award-winning author Ben Woerner, alongside TinyD6 designer Alan Bahr, Tiny Pirates introduces a new way to enjoy minimalist roleplaying. Feature expanded ship rules, an aquatic bestiary, and new archetypes, Tiny Pirates adds nicely to the TinyD6 line, both standing alone as it's own game, and combining with other TinyD6 products to add a dash of swashbuckling piracy to all genres!

The optional duel rules in Tiny Pirates do require a "Duel Deck", which comes in PDF with this book, but can be bought in print here

Tiny Pirates is a stand alone game.

This listing was previously "Tiny Pirates" but is now "Tiny Pirates: Second Edition" to reflect the updates made to the text with errata and quality-of-life fixes.

a multi-genre, award-winning, best-selling, easy to learn, easy to teach, and easy to play gaming system!

Hi Andrea,

After the print version is proofed and we know it's 100% locked, we'll be posting a list of all the updates.

I am very disappointed. This game was on sale and I was excited to buy it, but then I started reading about how it wasn't really finished and it had a lot of unpublished errata in the works. The developer has been promising updates, but the file shows to not have been updated for nearly FOUR years now. I'm going to have to pass on this.

Too bad the book is not finished yet after years, cannot use it right away. But I am fascinated by how simple yet rich it is, and the developer mentioned in other comments that they will properly finish the book so I’m eagerly waiting.

What is unfinished about it? I bought it too, but I'm brand new to RPGs and I cannot figure it out.

Well, first, I need to clarify that although it's unfinished, it is still playable in its current state, I say I can't play this because I want to wait for the completed product, similar to how I find it difficult to run a game with just preview or quick start version. Too bad I can't make amendment on my first post to reflect this.

The unfinished parts I refer to are:
- There are still "refer to page XX" phrase that haven't changed yet
- In the pirate creation page, the Master Carpenter role mentioned on page 43 don't have any detailed explanation. I expect that to be after Ship's Doctor details and before Traits explanation.
- Duel cards are not optimized for printing, the cards was presented one page per face of the card.

Still has the "refer to Page XX" problem. Get some final editing work to get those page numbers listed.

Also the Duel Card look like they are 1 to a page, instead of being in a format that would be easier to print as cards.

An updated file is coming before the end of the year. Some of the larger TinyD6 games have been the priority.

I just got the printed book and I cannot find a printable character sheet. I see that another person asked for it years ago. It would be awesome to make the character sheet available! Thanks!

Does this use the same mechanics as Tiny Dungeons ? I was thinking of taking my party over seas and I thought a little skulld-uggery may be a bit fun for a while

Are there errata available anywhere? Apart from the issues already noted here, there's also a couple more minor issues.

Hey Alan....I bought the book....but the character sheet in the back does not make a good copy. Is there any way to get a PDF of just the character sheet?

I noticed that it says on page 46:
"NOTE: Some of these traits like Spell-Touched require the use of Optional Rules listed after the Game Master Chapter. Get your Game Master’s permission before taking these Traits."
and on page 51 in the description of Spelltouched it says "(See Magic; pg. xx)"

But they are not in the Game Master's Section

Thanks I'll keep an eye on this then.

What other TinyD6 book would you recommend I pick up for a voodoo/spirits/bargaining magic system?

I notice that neither Master at Arms nor Master Carpenter have details in the section on crew roles despite being listed as roles that can be taken by players. Is this an oversight, or is there something I missed?

This confused me too, but the roles discussed on pg. 22 (where Master at Arms and Master Carpenter are mentioned) are roles *during combat* only. The Master at Arms is discussed on pg. 26 under Boarding and Sharpshooting and the Master Carpenter on pg. 27 under Heal and Repair. Out of combat the roles on the ship are the same as the ones seen on the character sheet amd detailed on pgs. 43-46. Hope that helps!

Hello, do the ship combat range can be usable for Tiny Frontiers ?
or do you have any plan to make conversion in Tiny Zine ?
thank you for your answer.

Hey Jeff!

They are usable for Tiny Frontiers with some adjustment. And that's a great idea for an article!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
