New Adventure Incoming: The Curse of the Drowned Fleet!

 

By Charlie Stayton, Behind the Die

Ahoy, adventurers!

I’m beyond excited to finally share what’s been brewing behind the DM screen—my latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure module, The Curse of the Drowned Fleet, is on its way! If you’ve ever wanted to explore a treacherous ship graveyard, battle spectral sailors, and face off against a villainous sea wizard, then get ready to set sail into the unknown.

What’s the Adventure About?

For generations, ships have mysteriously wrecked off the coast of Tide’s End, a forlorn fishing village that teeters on the brink of ruin. At the heart of the disaster lies an ancient, cursed artifact—the Eye of Umberlee, a powerful amulet that calls ships to their doom. But the villagers aren’t the only ones looking for it…

Enter Malakar the Drowned, a ruthless, waterlogged wizard with an army of spectral sailors and drowned cultists at his command. He seeks the amulet to claim dominion over the seas, and only the bravest adventurers can stop him. But beware—the graveyard of ships holds more than just wreckage.

What You Can Expect

This adventure is packed with:
⚓ A hauntingly atmospheric ship graveyard filled with wrecked vessels, shifting tides, and ghostly dangers.
🌊 An underwater Sunken Cathedral dungeon, where ancient magic and maritime horror collide.
🦈 Deadly sea creatures, spectral foes, and cursed pirates lurking beneath the waves.
🗺️ Custom battle maps for epic encounters in Tide’s End, the shipwrecks, and Malakar’s eerie lair.
💀 A climactic showdown against Malakar himself, where the fate of the ocean hangs in the balance.

Why I’m Excited About This One

I’ve always loved nautical adventures—there’s something about the vast unknown of the sea that makes for incredible storytelling. Ghost ships, lost treasures, and dark magic beneath the waves? Sign me up!

With The Curse of the Drowned Fleet, I wanted to capture that eerie, suspenseful energy while making it accessible for DMs of all experience levels. Whether you’re looking for a one-shot or a campaign arc, this adventure has plenty of hooks to fit into your world.

Stay Tuned!

I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks, including sneak peeks at the NPCs, new monsters, and encounters. Plus, I might just be revealing a free map or two for you all to use at your tables!

Are you ready to brave the storm? Let me know in the comments if you’d sail into the heart of the Drowned Fleet or steer clear of its cursed waters!

Until next time, keep rolling high and embracing the adventure!
