The Island of Castonegro is part of a chain of un-
charted islands called the Devil’s Hammer. Many
pirates escape to this island when evading the
Spanish fleet because it has a hidden cove, called
the Bed of the Black Cat. This is where pirates can
rest and resupply their ships for future conquests.
A pirate’s haven of sorts, but it comes with a price.
Every now and then there are tales of ships that
stray from the normal safe sea lanes within the
island chain and encounter things worse than the
Spanish fleet. Those ships are never seen again.
But then how can those tales be true if there are
never any survivors and, as we know,
dead men
tell no tales.

Character Creation
Tales From Dead Men
is for beginners. The
scenario provides pre-generated characters at
the back for ease of play, though the players may
wish to create their own characters and ship,
especially if they have a copy of
Blood Tide.
If
players choose to create their own characters
then have them pick their roles on the ship and
let them know the player characters are part of a
crew that has been together for some time. Also,
they will need to select the type of pirate ship
they will be using. The players have a crew of 250
NPCs to fill in the rest of the positions not taken
by their own characters. Make sure that the ship
they choose fits the amount of crew members
250 + the PCs. For NPCs use the generic Expe-
rienced Sailor statistic. The sample ship sheet
at the end of this book is a good reference to
organize the characters.
Players’ Information
Your ship has evaded the Spanish armada, but
you know there are still a few ships pursuing your
vessel. There is a chain of islands called the Devil’s
Hammer, about a day or two away, that can pro-
vide you shelter from the pursuing Spanish fleet.
The Spanish avoid the islands because the treach-
erous water is known to ground ships unwary of
