I bought this book for my husband, as he loves anything to do with Pirates. We spent a few nights just reading out loud all of the different spells and classes. I particularly enjoy the rules around spell effects and a moving ship, the reputation mechanics, and the new druid spells. I always felt that the original 5e spells around water were a little lacking in flavor, so this book explores it a bit further! One of my players is also very excited to play the Privateer (Ranger Archetype), with a slight reflavor towards fresh bodies of water, rivers, etc.

All in all, there's a lot of content to fiddle around with and the creators definitely thought about a pirate campaign from many angles!

If anything were to be improved upon in future books, I would perhaps recommend better visual organization. With so much information inside I would get lost easily, as lot of tables and such would continue onto other pages. But this was solved easily enough by refering back to the table of contents consistently. I've seen other books use headers to help you keep track of where you are, such as in archetypes, beasts, spells, etc. That being said, I also understand that's a lot of extra ink on pages with limited space. All in all, this book is pretty solid!

Can't wait for the next session!
