One of the more active games on here is looking for players- join us! Party is 5th level. Homebrew campaign of piracy and seafaring fun- mixed technological and magic world. Rollicking adventure, fun and a bit zany theater of the mind game.
background:
curent group has two traditional pirate ships (think pirates of the Caribbean) and is attempting to stop an assault on a port by some technologically advanced ships (and submarines, which none of the PCs can really comprehend) of the “evil” Crimson Fleet.
(group is more like privateers- pirates on the service of good for one side- they aren’t evil pirates)
Fun game, could use some active players. check it out!
Beric Blackhand will be the first to tell you that he was born on the open seas. In a storm. During a naval battle. While being attacked by Sahuagin. Once Captain of a fine sailing vessel named The Kraken, Captain Blackhand and his crew were the scourge of the known Seas. After a run of bad luck however, the Pirate lost his ship in a hand of cards and has fallen on hard times since. He now sells his services to the highest bidder, in hopes of finding a wealthy employer in need of an experienced sailor and privateer.
After a week of excessively heavy drinking, Captain Blackhand now finds himself in a strange and unknown port. Not entirely sure how he ended up here, he falls into his old routine and seeks out the next ship that will serve as his new temporary home.

I would see her involved due to the technological aspect of the enemy ships. Not as comfortable aboard a ship, but here due to her interest in this technology that is being reported.
Riverbeast grew up near one of the busiest rivers in the world, filled with rich merchant vessels on their way between a wealthy port city upstream and the open ocean. He grew up poor and he grew up mean; he was always spending the night in jail for minor infractions. Known as a bit of a thug and always up for a scrap, Skug (this was before he earned his nickname) was invited to join a crew of small time pirates for a single raid on a particularly rich vessel.
The plan went off without a hitch, and he was hooked on the pirate's life. Skug soon learned that he was able to control the winds, if he tried hard enough. Soon after that he was capable of forming small squalls and then he started making some real money, as he became indispensable in the fleet. He earned enough to buy his own vessel to captain and he travelled up and down the coast, preying on ships in narrow rivers, where it would be impossible to escape the Riverbeast. He made quite a reputation, "Riverbeast" became a name worth knowing to the guards of the cities whose trade he was inhibiting. All good things come to an end, and Riverbeast's fleet was sunk by the authorities. Riverbeast and some of his crew survived, but the game was over. They split up, and Riverbeast wandered to the coast, where he came across a couple of ships defending a port against a the Crimson Fleet itself.
I'm able to post a few times a day at least. If I can't for a day, I'll let you all know. Hoping to hear back from you and thanks for reading
Backstory: ”Birdie” grew up on the water. His nickname came from being frequently assigned the crows nest due to, more often than not, having the best eyes on any given crew. He also often had the best “nose” for detecting incoming storms. He has spent decades on all manner of vessels and has performed almost all duties on a ship. He’s proficient with nets and harpoons and actually enjoys his time repairing nets in between “hauls”. He’s been able to avoid encounters with the Crimson Fleet, mostly by “catching better winds” and escaping the conflicts all together. However, he has lost several dear friends when the captains of their vessels refused to surrender their “booty”.
For some time he has heard, in drinking establishments and through postings in various ports, that there is a call out for “privateers” to help counter the imbalance in the trade lines. Intrigued, “Birdie” decides to apply for a position.
Gianna lost her way when following her mother in the people's market. She was found by less savory elements in the community and was forced to use her natural abilities to perform tasks of a criminal nature. During one such job, she was caught by the very man she was supposed to steal from. He took her in, protected her, and showed her that there was a Way to live that did not involve criminal activity. He taught her how care for others, heal the sick, tend to the wounded and others in need. He showed her how to have faith in life. She spent years following these teachings, spreading hope and giving aid where it was needed. Troubling times are on the rise and she sees the need to take to the sea to the greatest hope.
Wow ok great. Thanks for your applications. Some good concepts!
I will close this for now. We will reach out to those who we pick.
mosf importantly, we are looking for people who can and will check and post regularly- like every couple days at most (or will communicate they will be on safari in Africa or the Amazon and not able to post for a bit)

I'd be up for something like this...
Name: Robin Holdcrest
Race: Custom Lineage
Classes: Artificer 1 / Wizard (chronomancer 4)
Background: Sage
I would see her involved due to the technological aspect of the enemy ships. Not as comfortable aboard a ship, but here due to her interest in this technology that is being reported.
Cool- I sort of “know” both of you and would welcome playing with you more. Letting the group know.
Ahoy! I'd be interested in joining the campaign as a player, if there's still space.
My current character concept:
Name: Western Wind
Race: Air Genasi
Class: Cleric (Life Domain)
Background: Noble (He's running from his Genasi bloodline and wants to explore the world which is why he would be with the pirates)
Western Wind plays Dragonchess and enjoys wholesome conversation.
Also, here is the character sheet.
Name: Skug "Riverbeast" Bloodaxe
