The game, designed with a pirate theme, combines elements of strategy, crew building, and treasure hunting. Players are invited to assume the roles of legendary pirate captains, each equipped with unique abilities that influence their strategic choices throughout the game.

The backstory of “Rogue Seas” centers around the lost riches of the San Miguel, a Spanish ship that disappeared centuries ago while laden with precious cargo. This legend has drawn pirate captains from across the Seven Seas to search for the treasure, setting the stage for the game’s competitive and adventurous gameplay.

Players will need to assemble a crew and enhance their ships at port to prepare for the various challenges ahead. They can engage in combat with merchant ships to acquire Loot Cards, which provide resources like Gold and Notoriety, or confront other captains to seize their treasures. Additionally, the game includes the option to battle legendary sea monsters in pursuit of Treasure Maps.

The main objective of “Rogue Seas” is to collect five Treasure Maps that lead to the central Treasure Island. The first player to achieve this goal will earn the title of Pirate King of the Seven Seas.

The game is designed for solo and cooperative play, incorporating both traditional tabletop wargaming mechanics and role-playing elements. Players may use their own 28mm scale models or opt for Modiphius’ specially produced Roman and Mythos creature figures in resin. Additionally, 3D-printable STL files will be available, including large-scale models such as the Star Spawn of Cthulhu.

Creators Chris Birch and James Hewitt have developed the Mendacious System to manage gameplay, focusing on strategic combat and tactical planning. This system is intended to offer a challenging and engaging experience as players confront the threats posed by Mythos forces.

“Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics” unfolds in turns, each comprising three phases: unit activation, enemy AI actions, and recovery. This structure aims to simulate the tactical exchanges typical of ancient warfare, enhanced by strategic planning necessary to combat the Mythos threat.

As the Kickstarter campaign progresses, Modiphius plans to reveal additional miniatures and game features through stretch goals. Interested individuals are encouraged to join the mailing list for updates and to participate in the campaign once it launches.

Having facilitated the funding of various creative projects over the past 15 years, with backers pledging more than $8 billion, Kickstarter is now looking to address the challenges that arise post-funding. According to Taylor, these challenges include marketing, fulfillment logistics, and ongoing communication with backers.

To better assist creators in these areas, Kickstarter is transitioning from its traditional crowdfunding model to a more comprehensive support platform. VP of Product and Design, Elana Jacobs, introduced a new feature called “late pledges,” which allows creators to continue raising funds after their campaign has ended. This aims to leverage continued interest in projects and increase total funding.

Kickstarter is also set to improve its tools for managing post-campaign responsibilities. The platform plans to update its survey tools to facilitate the efficient collection of backer information, crucial for reward fulfillment. These upcoming enhancements are designed to streamline the process for creators, making it easier to manage logistics and deliver rewards on time.

An addition to the platform is the creation of a Performance Marketing team, as explained by Andrew Marx, Director of Product for Kickstarter’s Performance Team. This new team will focus on helping creators expand their reach and attract new audiences to their campaigns through tailored marketing strategies.
