Hi, TLDR. I wanted to make a Pirate game and now I need players to play it!
Games will be hosted weekly on Friday usually at 9PM EEST (European zone) time.
Homebrew Campaign taking place in region within an unfinished world (it would take me years honestly).
5.5Edition.
Online.
VTT - AboveVTT (Needs PC to play).
3/4 Players.
Experience - [Newbie friendly].
My own experience - [I've been playing on and off, mostly hosting one-shot games].
Playstyle and Content: Looking for players who enjoy a bit of everything. I'm not a heavy RP DM, its just not natural for me. Likewise, I always try to make my worlds "believable' and as a result they sometimes lack whimsy, If you're looking for that you may not find it in bulk with me, sorry. I lean towards gritty content and there will also be some adult content, but neither will be a focus within this campaign. The setting is a bit of a mix from everything, it mostly relies on core DND content, ghost of saltmarsh ships that I've overwritten with some homebrew rules and a few of my own homebrew NPCs and enemies. What I had in mind when writing this was the Age of Sails and so gunpowder, cannons, pistols, muskets etc. will all be in the game. Ideally we'll start off in a focused story-line style where I'll introduce you early to the opportunity of finding this lost treasure. The game will likely go through the following cycle: Sail> Sea Encounter> Stop at Island> Develop story & find quests> Sail to complete quests.
Expectations - All players will need to have a reason for picking up the life of a pirate, make it believable please a game doesn't need a joke character to be fun.
Don't write such posts often so if I forgot anything or you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment. You can also add me on Discord: (dancho_l_). Let me know what character ideas you have in mind, I'm keen on hearing your about backstories and incorporating them into the world. Cheers.
Edit: Here's a questionnaire I made, if you'd like to add me please fill it out as well :).
Character Creation:
What is your characters name, class and what background are they of?
Here are some (Extra) species outside of Core species that are playable species you may choose: Shifter, Drow, Genasi, Duergar, Leonin, Tortle and I'll say Tabaxi for now.
What is their motivation for becoming a Pirate? (Not the best job in the world).
Player Preferences:
What sort of game are you as a player looking to play? Are you motivated by numbers going brrrrrr? Simply chill and roll dice? Give me a short example.
What is your timezone?
Would you prefer to roll dice or use point buy during character creation?
Are you okay with the idea that your character may be in a group of people who will likely end up doing evil things?
Any sailing Merchant or Captain would pay a hefty amount of gold to have a Triton be part of their crew. I don't see why he'd be a Pirate of all things.
I could give you a great backstory. He traveled around and got caught by a pirate group. Instead of killing or selling him this Triton learned about meat and pastries thru the group.
