Pirates and Plunder essentially started out of spite. Us two creators wanted to play a game of D&D, but set in the world of One Piece. There were a few absolute things we were looking for when browsing the web trying to find a niche to fill our desire: No spells, and it should have custom devil fruits. Although there were a handful of options out there, none of them fit the criteria, but more importantly, none of them felt like a One Piece TTRPG, more so a game of D&D with a little added flare. So to fill that hole and bridge the gap of One Piece enjoyers and tabletop game players, we started work on Pirates and Plunder (originally called Pirates and Plunderers) in July of 2024. Since then, we have made three iterations of the game, with the third one being the one we are proud to present and publish for everyone to enjoy.
