And The Devil Will Drag You Under (Inactive)

Game Master nightdeath

Rickard, your point buy is 25 points, not 20. Just FYI.

I used the Dual Talented alternate trait from the APG to give Rickard a +2 to two separate stats. Before those boosts, I'm pretty sure he fits the mold of a 20 point buy. Although if our GM doesn't allow alternate racial traits I can pretty easily rebuild him.

As someone who plays with hustonj in another PbP game, I will definitely vouch for his abilities as a fine PbP player. One of the best I've played with, to be honest.

<blush>

Well, what kind of a reaction did you expect?

Gee, wish I had a reputation! Haha, too bad I just started PBP for PFS.

Looks like things are slowing down here So I'll be compiling a list tomorrow and reviewing everyone's submissions then. I will still be holding recruitment open until Friday for any last minute applications.

Marik, I just got in to another Skull and Shackles game and even though I'd love to play Ferdinand, I'm going to withdraw him from consideration. Good luck to everyone and until later ARRRGH!

I think I will withdraw my interest. Good luck to everyone!

I'm sorry to see you two go but I understand.
A friend of mine succumbed to his battle with cancer Tuesday night and his wake is Friday afternoon so I'm going to close this thread early Friday morning.
Thank you all for your submissions and taking an interest in this Campaign.

Very sorry for your loss.

I'd like to throw a hat in the ring. Specifically a bicorne...

Jack Tar was born under a bad sign. The sign of Besmara, actually. Born to a whore on the docks of Cheliax, the illegitimate son of some sailor or another, Jack was born with the skull and crossbones on his back. Literally. The birthmark caused the midwife to gasp and seriously recommend drowning the newborn lad.

Instead he went to the Abadarian temple, where he was raised in an orphanage and taught the virtues of law and order and proper actions.

He lasted seven years before the stifling influence drove him to run away. He signed on the next ship he could find as a cabin boy and he's been sailing ever since.

Jack is charming, flighty and prone to forgetting his pledges, which he makes far too often and much too lightly. He considers himself a secret priest of Besmara, spreading the Pirate Queen's blessings to the common man. He enjoys drink, women and song, often in that order. Onboard he's a good sailor and his chanties make the work easier. On land he's a drunken cad who can't be trusted beyond arm's reach.

Mechanically he's a bard with the sea singer archetype.

My condolences. One of my friends in my f2f gaming group has lost his mother to that last year, and it's never an easy thing.

My condolences as well.

I'm not even involved in this application, but you have my sympathies for your loss. I'm not sure what faith, if any you have, but I'm sure they are no longer in pain and are in a better place.

I'm very sorry. You have my condolences.

Sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my prayers.

Very sorry for your loss. My condolences.

I am glad to hear that your friend's pain is over.

I am sorry that yours is not.

indeed very sorry

So very sorry to hear that. :(

Just noticed this thread and I wanted to drop this character in for the running, hope it isn't too late. She has a crew to adopt and her fortunes to find.

I'm going to be using Roll20 for maps and such and Google Drive for handouts and portraits.

I'll have an OOC thread up later when I get home from work. Just an FYI after the wake tonight I have my 30th high school reunion tomorrow night so I won't be able to get the Gameplay thread up until Monday.

Sweet! Thanks for the pick. Jack will be ready whenever you are.

Gratz to those who made it. Enjoy.

Woo-Hoo!

Now, to make the alias . . ..

Raises a toast to all those selected.
"Congrats mateys!"
Raises a toast to all who weren't.
"A round o' drinks on me, 'till ye find a berth agin'..."

Congrats to those who made it.

Yes! Thank you! I've had this character sitting around for months, I'm excited to finally put him to work!

A gruff patron teeters upon his bar stool at the Formidably Maid, near to the toasting blind man. His intense, drunken gaze acknowledges the toast, followed swiftly by another swig of his rum.

"Aye, Blindey. Aye."

The empty mug slams down on the counter... an intense look towards the barkeep indicates the desire for a fast refill...

Moments later, all goes dark...

...

Excellent, thanks for the pick! Looking forward to it, and no worries about a Monday start. That'll grant me the time I need to make my starting gear changes anyway.

"Oi!" Shouts Bellamy as he turns towards Reijo.
"Watch who yer callin' Blindey ye swab!"
He stops mid tirade, looking pensive.
"...though that be a better nickname than 'No-Eyes'. Where were ye when they was hanging nicknames on a sailor?"

"Are you truly blind?" the well-groomed man next to Bellamy asks.

"I'm afraid my skills are somewhat lacking. My training mostly involves the removal of gangrened limbs and cauterizing wounds." He sticks out his hand to the two fellows at the bar. "The name's TJ Huckson, though most call me 'Doc'. It's not true, of course: I was trained as a carpenter. But I generally get hired as the ship surgeon nowadays so the nickname sticks."

I think I just need to put together his formula book and I'll be good to get started.

As a chirurgeon I'll act as a pseudo-healer. And provide potions galore!

Some light snickering is followed with the comment "He wudn't born yet when ye got yer handle, grandpa. None o' us were, I think."

As Doc asks his question and makes his introduction, the youngster shakes his head. "Can't be blind. Couldn't git 'round on a ship. Any ship, if he was. Must be some kinda magic . . .. Double eye patches, tho. Nice effect."

The Discussion Thread is now open.

We seem to be missing our GM. If there are any GMs out there who would like to step in, the players would much appreciate it!

How far are you guys?

I'm an expereinced GM but am a noob at PbP as a GM.
I'll be using Google Drive for maps and such if you'll have me.

We have only just got on the boat; we didn't even make it through day 1 activities when our GM disappeared. It's been over a month since we've heard from him.

I don't want to speak for the whole group so hopefully they'll pitch in.

I'm up for a new GM!

Yeah, I figured at this point everyone would be happy just to be moving.

Please review our relatively short gameplay thread, and you'll know as much as we do. <g>

Am Looking through now.

Your jobs are pretty much set up for now.

Just A GM and Maps.

Ok I'm in.

Give me some time to read through all your actions and prepare the responses please
