Steamforged Games stands out as a tabletop developer thanks to its bespoke approach to adapting videogame properties. Its work started with the successfully crowdfunded Dark Souls: The Board Game and has gone on to successfully adapt many beloved properties including Horizon Zero Dawn, Devil May Cry, and the MMORPG Runescape. All of these adaptations are characterized by authentic game mechanics that capture the essence of their respective properties as well as highly detailed plastic miniatures. With this history, Sea of Thieves Voyage of Legends has the potential to continue this tradition.

As for the source material itself, Sea of Thieves can easily fit into a tabletop experience. Developed by Rare and published by Microsoft in 2018, Sea of Thieves is an online game where players take on the role of pirates. You assemble a crew, get a ship, and go on adventures looking for treasure. All the while the game is presented in a stylized light-hearted art style with some sinister supernatural elements. One of its notable content updates included a crossover with the Disney property, Pirates of the Caribbean, in 2021.
