An anti-heroic low-fantasy game of the where the Odyssey is a lie told by Ulysses. You play as part of his crew. Either as completely vile marauders or the crew members secretly undermining them. Black Tales covers 7 story-arcs and a custom OSR adjacent system. It can also be played with a similar system of your choice. 

Ulysses Lied
Ulysses and his Crew pillaged the Mediterranean Sea without mercy, stealing treasures and enslaving its peaceful peoples.
His ship bore no flags and the Marauders’ faces were concealed. But the lost songs of the Sirens tell of a small band of heroes whose goal was to overthrow Ulysses and put an end to his raids, but the legends do
not say whether their plan succeeded.

Odyssey Black Tales is for 1 to 7 players with an original set of rules compatible with 5e, Old-School Essentials and Mörk Borg.

You’ll play as part of the Crew answering to Ulysses,  the biggest liar in history, and serve in his small army of Marauders. Will you partake in the
sacking of the Mediterranean Sea, or will you risk your own life in the attempt to protect the People of the Sea?

You are tasked with telling the true tale of the Odyssey!
