Wildsea has been so fun and since its flavor is different than your standard DnD setting, but it still has a fantasy setting, I think it has pretty wide appeal. The style of game is different, and definitely uses different GM skills, but it's a great option imho. It can be run as a drop in/drop out pretty easily which is a plus for some groups. It will definitely not get the same reach as DnD, but the art is so inspiring it might sway some people if you're able to display it somewhere.
The Core book is out of stock at my distributor, but since they have 4 new titles for preorder I am hopeful the core book comes back into stock soon.
Glad to see it's on your radar. LGS are such a wonderful part of gaming communities. Good luck with your store.
Oh, wow! That looks super awesome! I love the art already, and the concept is just tilted enough to be intriguing without being wacky. I gotta say, I'm curious how that would mesh with some elements of DIE thrown in there... 🤩🤘🏽
Yea, the art is great and along with the text really helps build the world. I have rarely seen an rpgs rules support the setting so well.
DIE was great. I haven't read it, but I have played it. I feel hesitant recommending it because the experience seems heavily variable depending on GM, but it was definitely one of my personal favorites.
ETA: pg 10-11 of the wildsea book has a layer breakdown of the sea and it's my favorite part of the whole book. Maybe I'm just a sucker for any science textbook adjacent art, but it does such a great job of immersing you (imho). I think they should make posters of it and have it a bit more prominent in their marketing, but it's possible I'm off base. I feel like you can use interesting races in lots of different settings, but the sea is so integral to the game, it should be one of the big draws for players.
Well, now I really have to play it!
