Shipwrecker

Shipwrecker is an adventure scenario intended for player characters of levels 4-7 who are hired to return a golden chalice that a pirate band stole.

[2] Shipwrecker was written by Sue Stone, with a cover by Janny Wurts, and was published by Mayfair Games in 1983 as a 32-page book.

[1] The adventure module was part of the Role Aids line and was suitable for Dungeons & Dragons or similar systems.

True, players could spend a lot of time exploring the city, but no real progress towards completing the mission can be made until they get to the Pirate Caverns, and that's halfway through the module.

"[2] Swan concluded the review by saying "If designer Sue Stone had been given another 10 to 20 pages to flesh out the actual adventure portion of Shipwrecker, this could have been about as good as they get.
