Heroic
Caribbean Pirates, 1665.
The
overseas colonies of the Spanish Empire are vast and rich. Harbor
fortifications and church towers rise high as slaves labor in the mines and the
plantations and fleets of great galleons bring back to capitol the treasures of
the New World.
You are all
the cargo of a slaver ship heading for the colonies; aboard either for opposing
the Empire or just happened to be the wrong ethnicity or religion. But you
manage to organize a mutiny and seize the ship.
Now you
shall join the Brotherhood of the Coast and sail free under a black flag,
pillaging ships of the colonial empires and liberating any slaves you find.
A nautical
campaign of heroic pirates, who fight against oppression and slavery, and might
even change the course of history.
I have a
main storyline in mind, but there will also be many sandbox side quests. You
will command a ship, explore the Caribbean and fight both on land and in
boarding actions. There are rules for random weather, navigation, crew quality,
etc. It takes skill to chase down an enemy ship and successfully board it.
The rule
system is Gurps 4th edition, but you do not need any prior experience. I have
interactive character sheets and will walk you through character creation. New
players welcome!

Sessions
will be weekly, 2-3 hours long. We have two dedicated players, and need two
more.
Potencial roles onboard the ship:
Quartermaster- keeper of the purse, in charge of finances and
logistics.
Master cannoneer- in charge of the guns.
Ship’s carpenter- repairing and upgrading the ship.
and combat officers with various skills.
A steady
long-term campaign with opportunities to realize your character’s ambitions. Set in the
well-researched, historical Caribbean region of the year 1665. Utilize the
rules for navigation, sailing and naval combat. Outfox
enemy captains and board and plunder their ships. Experience
the Caribbean weather and seasons – and beware the hurricanes on open seas! Plenty of
Roll20 macros and scripts to ease play and speed up combat.
