Looking at doing a slice of life game set on a group of fictitious tropical islands in the Gulf of Mexico. We haven’t done a game in a while and some of y'all might remember our Sol City games from a few years ago. Would be doing something similar, but in a smaller and more intimate setting this time.

We have a good idea of an overarching plot involving a murder mystery and a rivalry between two families that have inhabited the islands since the Mayans so there’s almost a small town vibe to it as well that I know appeals to some. The time IC would be modern day.

All welcome of course, but the name of the game is making characters that will jibe with the others: likely native residents and expats/immigrants from other places in the Caribbean. Some that have played with us recently have expressed interest in finally doing this game and I hope we can put a good group together and have some fun.

Looking forward to this.

Dreaming up a local islander fella. Tour guide and fishing expedition kinda guy. Jamaican descent with a love of the Azules. And Island local who knows all the good places.

Calling him Jericho Bell at the moment. I think it's gonna be good.

I already know what direction some of you are going with characters based on our past games. I'm headed for a pilot and a treasure hunter/adventurer. Anyone that wants to post intentions for characters before we move forward is welcome to it, just so we don't have concepts clash or overlap.

Cool name choice btw

Definitely interested in this.


Floridian bonus points.

Gonna let this keep simmering a little longer for now. Feel free to ask questions and share ideas. I'll be making a discord and getting a few other items ready before we move forward.

Appreciate all the responses thus far.

My character will be a local who left to attend university and is (reluctantly) returning through her University of Miami marine biology program. She'll be a daughter of one of the local Big Deal families, but a black sheep and a troublemaker. Social hurricane, self sabotage, staying out all night type of gal. Stoked to hear these other ideas.

A wreck researcher being on-island at the same time as this university research program will be a hoot.

The idea would be that they are after the SS Vika and on its manifest carrying heavy metals. And suspected Mercury. A storm forced them off track in 1944 and the ship never made it to port, thry reached and a report has a that it course came close potentially to the area and thry are chasing foen old records etc and so to try and see if it's worth sending a full survey ship out.

As its aging their trying to locate the wreck, identify its manifest. to check and if needed prepare for salvage recovery team to be sent.

Yup, I'm not sure on exact details for charceter yet, but I have a fun tattoo idea for them.

It definitely could be fun!

Interested, too! Thinking about a local surfer/marine life connoisseur/diver type of deal, though that’s just my first thought.

One char idea I have, I am thinking of an immigrant. A recent one who maybe owns a bar. Who may have a shady past but is reformed and trying to stay straight.

Just as a note for all. It wouldn't hurt to brush up on the geography and nautical terms.

Rough coordinates of where the fictitious islands would be:

19°26'55.2"N 86°53'34.1"W

OOC and discord will be out soon. Everyone will have time to make characters and do some brainstorming for the first day. No rush. We're running on island time here.
