Does anyone out there have it? I've seen Skull and Shackles wind up as #2 on many interest threads where the GM left the option open to the Players. I've wanted to try this AP since it came out and have yet to achieve that goal.
I know asking for a DM to step forward in unconventional, but this is a recruiting forum and I can recruit however I please, even if I wind up not being one of the PCs chosen... Which would make me cry in a corner.

Ahoy there! (I'm terribly sorry I simply couldn't resist.)
I actually recently snapped up the first book in the series, planning to run it in person for a few friends. Long story short, things didn't work out, and in my despair I logged on to my old Paizo account and ventured into the play-by-post forums. And found this!
Quite frankly, I'm relatively new to PBP, but if your willing to have me, I'd love take you to the brink and back in Skull and Shackles!
Edit: Alas! I was just browsing the other PBP boards and it seems as if twilsemail may have already found another Skull and Shackles to play in. However I'd still be happy to run a game for Gnomezrule and Namtarou, along with anyone else perusing this board.

This thread is certainly my priority. I'll bow out of other games to start from the get-go here. Let me know how you feel about Skaldi and we can work from there.
We're pirates. Warning shots aren't necessary.
For everyone else, if you haven't checked Skaldi's profile. He's a Summoner. What's everyone else feeling at the moment?

I was thinking of a ranger. I'll make a first draft today.

Looks like the crew is taking form. So far we have:
-twilsemail (likely playing a summoner)
-Namtarou (thinking about a ranger/gunslinger type)
-Dinkster
-Rickmeister and Napstas (you're both in if you willing to play)
-and Gnomezrule if he shows up here again
As far as character creation, I was thinking I'd let you folks decide among yourselves as to what point buy we use, my original thoughts were to go with 20 since we're starting to take on a lot of players, but if you fellows want a more high-powered campaign then be my guest.
Then, of course, full hit points at first level.
Each character may take two traits as well (check out Archives of Nethys for a good list, as well as the SaS players guide for some campaign specific ones).
For starting gold you can either take average or, if you're feeling particularly lucky, roll for it.
Finally, as per request of Namtarou, featured races from ARG are available for play.
Any other questions or requests may be posted here or pm'd to me.

While I'm playing a core race and thus don't really have a horse in this race, I think S&S is one of the few campaigns where something outlandish (Read: The Uncommon races) could be easily accepted. Given proper story that is.
My vote on Points: Nothing lower than 20. MAD classes get hosed pretty quickly under 20.
How long do you want to leave Recruitment open?

Rickmeister |

Huzzah!
Thanks a million monjebleu, won't dissapoint you.
What would you reckon you could use, in the group? I'll see what I can whip up to fill in the gaps. :)
And yes, 20 pointbuy would be great.
15 is annoying for some characters, 25 with 6 players can get out of control rather quickly.
One more question: this is not PF Society, i reckon. And are you going to do the entire Adv. Path?
*crosses fingers*

monjebleu |

Ooh, I just looked over the uncommon races, so if anyone wants to play one just whip up an appropriate story and throw it up.
I say we leave recruitment open until we for sure have 6 players, which we may potentially have already, if everyone replies.
Edit: To answer Rickmeister, it's not PF society, so go wild with your character, and yes I'd like lead you as far as possible in this adventure path.

NapstasInvictus |

Heck yeah I'm still up for this!
20 point buy sounds good to me and race won't be a problem since I usually pick human.
The only thing I'm more on the fence is class. I had thought to build a ranged damage dealer but with Ranger\Gunslinger being taken I'm more inclined to choose between a melee Fighter or a support Wizard (leaning more towards the fighter since I have very little experience when it comes to full casters)

The Dread Pirate Hurley |

I'd be interested in playing a conjurer wizard, if you're still accepting apps.
EDIT: Some slight changes will need to be made to the sheet. but it's already mostly done. Character could either go full wizard or eldritch knight; he's not planned out and I'm more interested in the roleplaying experience.

monjebleu |

So it looks like we'll be doing 20 point buy.
Crew Composition:
-twilsemail as Skaldi the summoner
-Hurley as Ambrose Jeggare, conjurer (any chance you could put your character sheet on your Paizo profile as well?)
-Namtarou as a human gunslinger
-Napstas as what's looking to be a militant human type
-Rickmeister
-Dinkster
Look at all these humans! Remember that all the races (featured and uncommon) from ARG are available.
Also don't forget to compile your inventory lists, I'll be needing those as well.

We're missing a skill monkey and someone devine. Not that either of those are required, but they're trope sin a party for a reason.
I can certainly see a bard doing well on a pirate ship.
There are a bunch of archetypes out there that fit the setting. Just to name a few: Corsair (Fighter), Freebooter (Ranger) and Smuggler (Rogue). Though, really, most Rogues fit. I'm pretty sure that every class has something that at least kind of fits. Paladin excepting.
Skaldi is CN, what's the rest of the group looking like?
