THIS IS ON HOLD. I HAVE A HAD A FAMILY EMERGENCY THAT HAS LIMITED MY FREE TIME.

Seeking players for "Black Sails: Pirates Rising"

The Basics:
  • Inspired by the Starz television series "Black Sails".
  • It is the dawn of a new century, the year 1700.
  • The Bahamas have been virtually abandoned by England.
  • Without law and order, criminals -- including pirates -- are running amuck.

Creating Prosperity:
  • The average pirate may seem happy go lucky, content with taking prizes, selling the pillaged goods, and spending his shares on rum and whores.
  • But many of them -- including most of the pirate ship captains -- would like more from life than simply surviving one fight to engage in another.
  • A new Governor (my primary character) knows he can't control the Bahamas, New Providence, or even Nassau with the minimal Royal Navy and Royal forces he controls.
  • He is ready to provide the pirates with what they need if only they will "play nice".

Joining the Game:
  • Your character can be a pirate, a merchant, a whore ... whatever you want.
  • You can be trying to simply survive or ultimately thrive, your choice.
  • You don't have to have a long term goal of creating a better life. You can simply want to live on.
  • PM me to join. I will send you a Character Profile Sheet.
  • Between us, we will discuss your character's place in the story.

How the game progresses:
  • As in any table top game, chance is always a factor.
  • I will present situations which affect your character and in which your character may become involved.
  • I will present you with the possible outcomes of any actions you take, complete with approximations of success and failure.
  • Then, you can make decisions: Go ahead with your actions, alter them for (hopefully) better results, abandon them, or come up with entirely new plans.
  • I don't have all the details worked out yet, I'll admit that up front. This is new to me.
  • But, we'll figure it out together.
