I say let's go and see if he shows up.
Also if he doesn't, we're probably going to need to elect a new future captain.
Sounds good. We shall await the return of Ignatius! I will post a bit later, because I have a haircut coming up soon. I would definitely like the haircut, because I look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo! :/
Iggy is back. I have a bit of a mental break as well...I'm returning, in bits and pieces.
I hate to hear anyone goes through that sort of thing, Iggy. Glad to know you're getting better and rejoining us!
Good to see everyone's back, and sorry to hear about the struggles people have been through. I feel like it's been a rough time for a lot of people lately.
Ready to restart this when you are GM...
Just got back not too long ago. About to eat an apple, take a shower, and begin posting.
Drat! Just seen my post was eaten! Well, the good news is that it wasn't because people lost interest! Will post later. I feel somewhat dumb I didn't figure it out yesterday. :/
GM I will be out of commission for a week, the verizon jackals struck again... New modem may well take a week to get here.
Just thought I'd drop this video here. DON'T WATCH IF YOU HAVE ARE NEAR SMALL CHILDREN, PEOPLE OFFENDED BY CRUDITY, OR IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY CRUDE HUMOR! Not too crude, but here it is... Riddleport Vs. The Shackles, Personified
Oh man, ERB. I love ERB.
I'm looking to join in and so how do I create a char? I heard something about 25 points? Point for point? So it doesnt scale? What the heck is MAD or SAD?
Will post tomorrow everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in 2 days. Haven't really been able to do much beyond going through discussions and recruitments because I've been fretting over a medical concern. I'm over it now, emotionally at least, so expect a post within about 24 hours, possibly several!
Scott, I'll send you the info tomorrow. Sound good?
OK. It could be really funny to play a ninja though in a pirate game. Ha ha the inverse law of ninja! ONE ninja is uber powerful! No one will survive!
Everyone ignore the recruitment thread I accidentally clicked to add. Stupid phone Internet! :/ On the other hand, if anyone is interested in a Pathfinderized Modern Arcana, feel free to look at it!
Hello. Is this a decent place to talk to the other players OOCly?
Aye, that it is, Scott. You'll be joining us, then?
Supposedly.
seems I have a body double...
So I can kill you, pretend to be you and be Captain. mwa hahah
That would probably work a lot better if he was captain. :P
We're all still stuck on Harrigan's circus of a ship. Once we have our own, we'll elect a captain.
Hint: Preliminary polls point to Iggy.
Only cause Iggys actually been in play. :-p Harrigan is a beast btw. No way in hell could anyone kill him. The point is to RP mostly.
Well...there is a way to kill Harrigan, but it would kill all of us as well... It's called sink the ship in the middle of the bloody ocean!
Assuming he doesnt have any items to help him breathe underwater or teleport away or something like that you mean? (I'm not talking from any experience on that but he IS some legendary badass. I dont think some lvl 1 newbies are going to take him down. That's a long term goal. Not something that's gonna be done in like a week of game time? lol)

Captain Iggy? I imagine an iguanna with a pirate hat on it's head.
Obviously we're not going to try to take on Harrigan; we're waiting for the right occasion to act, and biding our time.
Also, Iggy has been actively interacting with fellow party members, while Temerith has mostly been in cahoots with NPCs, and rejected attempts at including him in our number. This is, I believe, the reason why voting leans towards Officer Hank.
Lots of cool RP going on. I want to get involved instead of just reading it.
Doubtable I admit to assassinate Harrigan, I just like to envision the imagery of Harrigan trying to survive alone swimming in the sea while being chased by carnivorous, man eating penguins! Yes I admit my mind is warped...
He really hasn't been that bad to you guys. He's far nicer in this game than he's normally portrayed. Its the Scourge and Mr Plug who are the real A-holes. I find Janus very interesting. I imagine him as the guy who played Thor Gunderson on Hell on Wheels. lol
Ah so that's how I post as myself or my PCs. Finally figured it out. I missed the "post as" button every time.
Do you know what you're planning to play here?

I mean, he hasn't been that bad to us directly, but the current state of the ship points to him being a captain who's either ineffective or cruel, neither of which are great for us (or the rest of the crew). Variziel has his reservations about staging and outright mutiny--I don't even know that he's involved too much in those plans, beyond having spoken with the others some--but he recognizes the problems the current leadership pose. Scourge and Plugg definitely have to go, though.
Janus... he's an interesting fellow. I think Thor Gunderson is a nice comparison, although I also picture him as being similar to Robert Mitchum's character from The Night of the Hunter in some ways.
I plan to play a Tiefling Rogue. How do I get his little stats bar to show up next to his name like you guys?
I tell you what. I will try my hardest to stab someone in the eye with a fork. Also captain, you left me out on your last few responses.
You put it in the class field. For example, right now, my class field reads: Haunted Oracle of Waves 1 | AC 13 T 12 FF 11 | HP 6/11 | F +3 R +2 W +2 | Init+2 | (link to magic)

lol. "They call me the Swede. I'm actually Norwegion." Does your "actor" look like Thor Gunderson? It's always cool to imagine some actor as your PC.
Janus, my apologies. I will rectify that mistake soon! :)
I will post after dinner and a shower. My day was spent getting a CT scan done, napping, and visiting family.
So yeah, when can I join in on the madness?
Everyone, your vote on Scott/Scoundrel?
My vote is already cast, so let's hear them! Yay or nay? Because that's how REAL pirates did things lol.
Anyone watch Black Sails btw? That show really made me want to play Skull and Shackles...
By the way, Scoundrel, unless your abilities are related to make-up, I believe the class is spelled Rogue. :P
Also, do you have a character background? I'd like to see a bit of backstory.
Damnit. I usually spell that right! Who says my Tiefling can't be fabulous? I don't normaly but up backstories for anyone to read though. Plus I dont have it all thought up anyway.
I'm not sure if he's an escaped slave from Cheliax or was always native to the Shackles area...
Write you horny tiefling, write! Temerith won't say yes in less he believes your deeds are worthy of making you join the Ocean's Lost upon death!
lol. That's a bit metagame reason for a yes or no isnt it?
yep, although is it also for humor. I will be the only binder able to say "I knew that guy before he became a spirit"!
If you can't be bothered to write up a little backstory, how can we trust you to put the effort to play nicely and creatively? :P
Assuming you dont die first and go to hell! Then I can be all "I knew that guy before he became a litte peon in the red tape of hell." :-p
Because a backstory isn't 100% proof of either of those things at all? I've played with more than enough people who had backstories who were jerks and not that creative in play.
I AM working on one though, its not easy. It's on his sheet now. Best I could think up so quickly. I'd love to add more if I can think of things.
