Under the Acid Sea is a 2025 release from Alain Giorla. Although it could work anywhere in the Realms of Pugmire, it probably makes most sense for those using Pirates of Pugmire. It is part of Canis Minor, the community content program for Pugmire.

Presentation
This is a 10 page pdf. One page is the cover, one is the copyright and table of contents, and the last page is the ogl declaration, leaving 7 pages for content. It's laid our portrait in two columns.

Content
This is essentially a bestiary for the Acid Sea. It details 5 types of creatures one might encounter and then a singular character known as "The Lady Who Smokes".

Each entry starts with a paragraph or two explaining the creatures environment and some of their habits. This is followed with a couple of adventure hooks, a detailed stat sheet in the standard format, and a picture. Most of the entries actually have a basic creature and then a more advanced version, so there are actually 9 creatures here. Most of them are based on creatures found in our world taken to a more dangerous level.

Two of them stand out as much more than the typical cannon fodder of sea voyages. The Lady Who Smokes is a powerful NPC despite her challenge rating of 5. She's intended to serve more as a wily sage than as a combat encounter and she has a well-developed personality and tactics. The Sailor Demon is a creature which possesses those who drown in the Acid Sea. They are able to inhabit their corpses, but not take their memories. Once they inhabit the dead, they try to rejoin their crew if they can and they set about sabotaging the ship. In some ways they're like dopplegangers, except they want everyone around them to drown and become possessed as well.

Evaluation
There are a lot of good ideas packed into a few pages, from the simple creatures like the deep sea angler and the crocovaures, to the aforementioned sailor demon and The Lady who Smokes. There are a couple of typos here and there, but nothing that detracts from the game. If you're all about pirates or sea travel, this is a great addition to your game.

100 Knick Knacks for Pirates of Pugmire is a 2023 release for Pirates of Pugmire from Azukail Games. It was written and edited by Adrian Kennelly.

Presentation
This is available as a 7 page pdf which includes a cover, copyright info an open gaming license leaving about 4 pages for the contents. This a double column layout.

Content
As described, this is a list of 100 things you might find in a Pirates of Pugmire campaign. Each entry consists of a number and a short description of an item. Most of the items are just knick knacks, things one might find just about anywhere. They range from fairly mundane things, like a nutcracker in the shape of a crab's claw or a tooth carved from wood to things that are more interesting like a yellow orb that shows white in relationship to the amount of cloud cover or an orb that gets warmer as more fish are nearby.

Evaluation
Many of these things feel like they could lead to adventures, like keys in the shape of a town or odd sculptures or even a bowl which always has a whirlpool when filled. Some are outright magical and possibly on the level of relics of man. It's an interesting mix and many are the sorts of things that players become fascinated with even if they don't have much use.
