(Exclusive Art Reveal!) Crimson Herald and Samurai Rusk Unveil SINK! - A Thrilling 5e Adventure Set on the High Seas
Take a look at some exclusive art from the upcoming D&D 5e pirate module, SINK!
Hold fast! Else you might SINK!
On March 8, Crimson Herald, the newest game design and publishing venture from TTRPG personality and NFL athlete Johnny Stanton and writer and game designer Rick Esquivias, announces that they have joined forces with the visionary pop-traditional tattoo artist Sam Rusk to bring forth an epic collaboration in the form of SINK!. These three co-creators have guaranteed the highly anticipated 5e book will be dedicated to its core pillars of Pirates, Tattoos, and Dungeons, creating a unique and thrilling journey for all players.
Preparation has already begun for their Kickstarter campaign coming this September, and thanks to their partnership with games publisher Hit Point Press, it promises an impressive list of products and accessories to excite game masters and players alike!
Game designers Johnny Stanton and Rick Esquivias use their long history of co-GMing each others' games to tell a harrowing story; at the same time, artist Sam Rusk leads the endeavor to fill the void of traditional tattoo artistry in the TTRPG space. Combining the trio’s skill sets breathes life into a world where pirates roam the seas, mysterious tattoos hold ancient secrets, and dungeons overflow with untold treasures and dangers.
In addition to their one-of-a-kind art style, SINK! offers original player options, including a multitude of magic item tattoos and four confirmed subclasses: the Buccaneer Fighter, the Mist Breaker Ranger, the College of Tide Song Bard, and the Spellskin Wizard. Furthermore, SINK!’s brand new game mechanic, “Soul Link,” helps players explore the question: “Who ushers your soul to the realms beyond?”
Crimson Herald And Samurai Rusk provided Rascal with exclusive images from their upcoming Free RPG Day release, SINK!: Treasures of Deep Grotto. The booklet can be picked up on June 22, 2024 at any participating local game store.
Co-creator Johnny Stanton had this to say about his partners, “SINK! is purely born from our mutual admiration and our desire to work together. All of us at Crimson Herald and Samurai Rusk are hoping to capture the hearts of the ever growing number of people in the intersection of the tattoo/TTRPG Venn diagram!”
To add to the player options and expanded rule set, SINK! will include: a campaign setting, a collection of modular, pirate-themed dungeons, and a storyline to tie them all together.
