The Dark-Water Pirates
Welcome to a fun campaign full of ocean smells, pirating and magic!
You have recently joined a rather (in)famous pirate crew for one reason or another. Maybe you are escaping from something or someone? Maybe everyone on your old ship was killed? Maybe you have always dreamt of being a pirate? Or maybe it was simply a desire to get away from daily life. Whatever the reason, you are now working as a part of this crew under Esme Dark Waters, a pirate known for stealing from only rich ships and doing it in strategic manners. They recently went looking for more crew members, as they have a big task coming up. Acquiring a big treasure from a supposedly haunted island. But the island is still a couple of weeks away. Will you be successful? What else lurks in these waters? And even on the ship inself?
This will be a short campaign that will spread over about 10 sessions. It will involve a lot of roleplay and some combat but there is always a bigger reason for it. I love creativity and the rule of cool is my favorite! I’m still new to DMing so I will probably look stuff up, or simply make it up, if I don’t know something. I’ll try weaving in the backstories to some of the plot, so leaving a few open ends would be really neat.
We will use character sheets on dnd beyond. I unfortunately don’t have the option to share anything right now. But you do have an option to buy a specific race or subclass you want to play, for a small price if you don’t have it. I’m using aboveVTT for maps whenever that is necessary. We’ll use discord video chat for game play. I’ll record the sessions audio, mostly for our own convenience and perhaps to share with the world at a later time. A stable wi-fi connection and a microphone (whether from the apple headphones that come with the phone, an expensive microphone or gaming headset, doesn't matter.)
Lgbtqia+ people are very incurraced to join! I strive to create a safe space for my players to be themselves, feel seen and normal. Almost none of my NPCs are cis and as my friends like to joke, all the NPCs are a little gay. It is super normal to be lgbtqia+ in my world! The country I’ve built the most lore around so far even has 2 queens. If you are a white cis straight dude I would prefer you finding another game than this one.
The time will be around 10 am GMT+2 on Thursdays about every week. I would appreciate it if you would know that you would be free at that time moving forward for when we start. Please fill out this applicationto be a part of this adventure!
TLDR:
Your character recently joined Esme Dark-Waters crew because they have a big job coming up that involves finding a big treasure on a supposedly haunted island.
Dnd beyond for character sheets, discord video chat for communication and aboveVTT for maps.
Game will be at about 10am to 13(:30)pm on Thursdays about every week
Very lgbtqia+ people are very encouraged to join!
I encourage creative gameplay and often use the ‘rule of cool’!
I’m still a new DM and don’t know everything but sometimes I just make stuff up because in my opinion rules as written are just guidelines and not the law.
