So, I just came home from GenCon SoCal, where not only did I pick up Cyberpirates and Smuggler Havens, my roommate for the duration was (I'm not kidding) a pirate. Random plug for Sade So, naturally, I'll be running a pirate game. It'll be set in the Carib, because the Huk seems too bleak (yes, this is me, saying something is too bleak), and Africa seems a little too... cutthroat. I'd kill you all *far* to quickly. So, we will be having a flamboyant, over the top, pirate game. This time, I will not be limiting starting cash (although remember these are poeple desperate enough to risk their lives for money), but I will be asking for donations towards the crew again, so give generously. As usual, the guy who gives most gets the top spot, and there is the matter of buying a ship out of this. Let's hear interest |

That's what I'm here for. Remember, I want a very Pirates of The Carribean, flamboyant, trying to build legends vibe. |

Why don't I have those two books?!
*bash forehead off table* I have an idea, kind of, and as such, once I get it in a firmer position I'll be throwing questions your way. Hope I don't sound like too much of an idiot asking things that should be basic for people who've read it. |

"A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the seas!"
I prefer magical character types, let me know the restrictions. Now I have to decide what psychology (and thus magic style) would work... |

Oh my god! This game sounds fantastic! I've always wanted to play in a Pirate game. Count me in. I can't wait to hear more details about this one. :)

Avail as usual, with the following exceptions: Cyber, Bio, etc. :7 Nautical stuff: 9 If the cyber also falls under nautical stuff: 9 BPs: 123. I prefer priority or sum-to-10, and those guys will get priority. I know it's stupid and irrational, but I don't have to be rational. Oh, also, I will be counting the 'Ship' skill towards more than just driving the damn thing. It'll also cover everyday stuff on the ship. So, I recommend it. Don't worry about purchasing a ship, I'll do it out of what's donated. Contacts for various supplies and in various ports will be *very* helpful. And you don't need to have read either of the aforementioned books to play. There's nothing really rules-wise, so... Don't worry about asking newb question. As a matter of fact, I encourage it. |

Are we going to be "bad guy" pirates or "Robin Hood" pirates?

I will remind anyone who is uncertain of what choices to make, that combat at sea has a chance of falling overboard and heavy armor can make those swimming TNs painful.

Sum to 10 is like, As are worth 4, Bs worth 3, Cs worth 2, Ds worth 1, and Es worth nothing, right? So, I can make a mundane human with race and magic at E, and then Attributes and Skills at B, and then Resources at A, or some mix thereof?

You should know by now not to ask about good and evil in Shadowrun. You will fall somewhere in the middle, to be determined by you. |

For Sum-2-10, A is 4, B is 3, C is 2, D is 1, and E is 0. And, DH, you're talented enough that we can work something out with building that character. |

Herald, the character seems to pass mustard, but you totally didn't describe him or give him a personality. You really need to do that. Cause the concept of a Wujen pirate is really cool. |

Damn, It's too tempting to not play... *8-> Is there still room? I was thinking of a piloting rigger, mostly boat but possibly with a little drone for fun, either that or a seriously techie rigger... you the guy you rarely see in the daylight and then always covered in oil... *8-> If nothing a game were you've got to start yell "Arh! Jim lad!" *8->
On the character front I'll try and put something together this weekend... still stuck in germany with no books *8-< but will get it to you as soon as.... |
