Take your games of gruesome horror onto the wide open ocean with the Terror on the High Seas expansion! Featuring full rules for ship-based games, this expansion expands on how you can craft your cinematic horror tales. The USS Australis has a dark and lurid past. Technically, the ship is owned by Dr. Ethan De'Graw, but over the last decade it has been used by the research division from several of the corporations that Dr. Ethan has business dealings with. These partners have used it for anything from shipping to experimentation in international waters. Whether the characters are waking up in surprise or spending the weekend on a school funded trip, they have found themselves on the research vessel the USS Australis. Now, they must try to survive whatever is lurking below decks or just under the surface of the water. This supplement is designed to be used with the Black Site Studio 'USS Australis' kit but is easily replaced with a desert island or old run-down dock. The expansion includes a full re-hash of all the core DLB scenarios with a nautical twist! —description from the publisher This expansion adds an 18-page nautical expansion booklet, 1 Captain Erasmus Drake Hero miniature, 1 Deep One Killer miniature, 4 resin egg markers, 4 new items and weapons, and associated Character and Visage sheets to the base game.
