50 Fathoms - a Savage Worlds tale

Caribdus is home to many fantastic creatures. Giant crabs scurry along the reefs. Massive orcas prowl the cold depths. Flocks of razor wings descend upon hapless sailors and cut them to ribbons. Here there be monsters.

The natives of this world are a very different sort. By far the most dominant are the masaquani, who are nearly identical to humans, though perhaps a bit more exotic and varied in appearance. Winged atani are rare, as are crab-like scurillians and outcast half-ugaks. Savage kehana thrive in sunken volcanic flumes, or battle with the last survivors of their racial enemies, the lonely doreen. Mysterious kraken
scour the isles on some unknown quest, and massive grael harpoon deadly norwhales in the Cold Sea. Brutal Red Men roam the Thousand Isles for prey, or serve as cutthroats on the most bloodthirsty pirate sloops.

Whether you are a resident of Caribdus, or if you just happened to find yourself stranded here, it is up to you to either find fortune and fame, or find a way out of here - the choice is yours.

Character creation: We will be designing your characters together, based on the available races in the 50 Fathoms setting. We will look at backgrounds that link up well with other players, as well as being a novice 'nobody' in Caribdus. I will provide all players with the 50 Fathoms Player Guide for extra information and inspiration.

I am aiming to provide you with a healthy mix between combat and Roleplay situations, potentially leaning towards one of the two if this is desired by the players. Wherever possible I will be granting you freedom in where you'd like to go, similar to a 'small sandbox' game. Further guidelines/rules can always be discussed at a later stage, to make sure everyone can enjoy the session :)

The campaign will be ran in roll20, along with voice chat through Skype. I am aiming to run weekly sessions, depending on everyone's availability. I would accommodate a maximum of 5 players, first come, first serve!
