Pirates Game Description: Freedom is found on the waves of the sea. A hard freedom, one with no laws save the ones you keep by the edge of your blade and the force of your personality, but a freedom from the laws of men on the mainland. Only you know why you choose this freedom over the life of men and laws on dry land or those of the Royal Crowns that control the areas. Trade from mainland crosses the treacherous waters of the sea. Spices from the Persian Empire in the east, exotic goods from the African Nations in the south, and "modern wonders" such as cloth, iron, copper from the European Mainland to the north, and countless other goods criss-crossing the water in loaded down ships. Many terrors lurk in the deep dark waters too. Vicious storms, horrible sea monsters, ghost ships, and half crazed cultists to forgotten gods, to name a few. That's not even mentioning the pirates - but you know all about them - and with pirates comes those looking to cash in on the bounty that your kind leaves in its wake, whether they be officially sanctioned or simple bounty hunters. You are a crew to a junior member of the Pirate Admiralty. As the crew to a junior member, you work on, own, and/or operate a ship but report to one of the 5 pirate Lords who run the fleet. A meeting is called on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean to vote for a new Lord of The Admiralty due to a recent death. The Lords will nominate a new Lord and the junior captains will vote. The new Lord will take their previous holdings with them as well as take over the old Lord's holdings. Reparations and balances almost certainly happen due to the shift. Loyalties change and deals are made. Group Details/Specifics: I'm looking for 1 new player to join a Fate Core game that meets on Thursdays from 8-11 EST. We're mid game and recently had to drop a player for no call/no showing too many times. There are 4 people in the group, counting myself. We've been playing together off and on over Roll20 and Google Hangouts for about 7 years now through different games and systems. I imagine at some point we'll migrate over to Discord but I'm stubborn and someone has to keep the lights on for hangouts. The game has an indeterminate length right now. I expect to wrap up at a certain point, but that could be 3 weeks or it could be a year depending on the direction the players go. While I'm advertising specifically about this game, I'm really looking for someone new to bring into the group on a regular basis. We usually play Fate based games but we've been known to branch out and try something new when we get the itch. If you're interested in joining up with us, please remember the following: 1. Be on time and reliable. I cannot stress this enough. The time and day slot are currently non-negotiable so if they do not work for you please do not apply. If you're unable to be punctual, please do not apply. 2. Either enjoy role playing or at least be able to put up with it. We do a fair amount of role playing and may go an entire night without getting into a "tactical battle." I doubt this should be a problem with Fate players, but I still feel it's important to note. We're more free form when it comes to stuff like that putting what's fun and creative above strictly what the rules say. However, it's important to understand that in attempting greater risks comes greater rewards and consequences. 3. Adult themes can pop up. If it's on HBO or in an R rated movie, it's fair game here. Things don't come up out of left field and a contextual warning will likely not be given unless I know something specifically bothers you (and then I will either gloss over it or omit it entirely). 4. On the game page, I've posted as it relates to the story hook, rule tweaks, and setting information. I'm not expecting anyone to have this stuff memorized or anything but feel free to look it over if you're interested. 5. Don't be an asshole. The game can be found here . If you have any questions feel free to reply or send me a PM.
