Corsairs

You are a Corsair: nothing more than a pirate to the navies of the Empires that battle over the floating islands. But to independent islands like Teboa, you are a bulwark against the machinations of power hungry sovereigns.
Corsairs is a game of sky ships, powerful empires and fiercely independent floating islands. Corsairs includes rules for character creation and play, as well as rules for sky ships and sailing the skies of the Molten Sea. The rules set is designed for high action and adventure.

Corsairs is a full table top role playing game in a zine format, including:

Rules for creating your own unique Corsair.
General rules of play for characters, using an Exploding D6 based system in which the players roll all the dice.
Rules for creating and sailing your own sky ship.
Rules and guidelines for chases, and trading broadsides in the skies above the Molten Seas.
Rules for equipment, gaining and sharing out booty, running repairs and restocking the ship.
A collection of Scoundrels the characters can face down, from the common Picaroon, to the slimy Perfidious Official, as well as some creatures unique to the setting.
And of course, Corsairs includes a character sheet, a ship sheet, and reference sheets.
Corsairs emphasizes quick and thematic game play, whether exchanging sword blows in the docks, or trading cannon fire between ships!

A ship may gain a Reputation, or be upgraded, and there are a range of upgrade options from a Figurehead to larger cannons all of which can make a ship better, more fearsome, or more dangerous.
