A New & Free Rapscallion Quickstart Is Available Now!

Ahoy!!! Have you longed to assemble a crew of rebellious scallywags and find adventure on the Great Sea?

Are you willing to brave the vast oceans, witnessing the strange and the weird in equal measure while evading the long reach of the World With Laws?

Do you feel the blood of leviathans in your veins, the dreams of stars in your soul, the touch of magic in your ink and quiver?

You’re in luck, my friend—your swashbuckling dreams are about to come true in Rapscallion, a tabletop roleplaying game in which you play a rambunctious crew of roguish pirates, testing their luck against the unpredictable winds of Fate! The free digital-only Quickstart is now available with everything you need to try out the game!




The Royal Navy has been hot on your trail for weeks. The Pirate Kings want your head after you pulled off a heist that.. ahem, relieved them of a sizable amount of treasure. You know you should feel worried, but all you see—looking out across the deck of your ship—is the vast blue ocean. The salt air brushes against your face, softer than any lover you’ve ever had. You can’t imagine feeling more free…

Your crew might be a strange group—and you can’t say that you trust them completely—but at a moment’s notice they’re ready to sail through monster-infested waters or scale a corrupt noble’s castle walls. Pirates, through and through. Each of them is ready for anything.

And you’ve got secrets of your own! Perhaps you are an escaped noble, fleeing from the burden of responsibilities. Or maybe a mechanical construct, given life by a cruel master. Either way, it’s fair to say that the night-black void orb you acquired at the last port may have an effect on your health.

No matter. There’s adventures to be had and treasure to plunder. Sail on, me ‘earties! Yo ho!

Rapscallion was originally released in 2019 as an ashcan—an alpha version of the game—but this new evolution of the rules refines and expands the game with six full crew playbooks, two ship playbooks, updated GM materials, rules for downtimes, adventures, and lackeys, and much more. The World Without Laws is calling… are you ready to find a crew and adventure aplenty?
