Hey, my apologies about not posting earlier. We are missing two players, yes, and I might be able to fill those spots without an entire recruitment thread. I'll send some contact around to the players in the thread, and see if we can't fill in the gaps -if they don't respond by tomorrow morning.-
That said. I'll prepare a post for that, because my body is sore from physical exertion spent this weekend. Generally my slow time, and all that.
You have my apologies for these delays - there will be no more unannounced ones. Promise.
Oh no, it's quite fine! I don't mind a hair of it, but I had to go digging through it to find four of the applicants, and it became a chore to go over character sheets when they are in between every post.
That said, we've three of five, and I'll put the first post so we can be started later this morning as I haven't slept yet. I promise you, we'll be havin' a good ol' time soon enough, and I promise you all the piratin' you can live for.
I suppose the only thing left to do now, is wait for our last two intrepid heroes. Cheers!
And my players are, in no particular order! *Drumroll*
Alivia, Sapphire Sorceress - Human Sorceror (Elemental [Water] Bloodline)
"No-Eyes" Bellamy - Human Oracle of Time (Stargazer)
Jenna "Sharpeye" Cassidy - Human (Ulfen) Ranger
Savianna "Savi" Greycloud - Half-elf Bard (Dervish Dancer)
Kiernan D'Agostin - Fighter (Corsair)
Head on over to the discussion thread - we'll be seeing the rest of you lot on the high seas, come hell or high water!
To the rest of you, I wish you luck and fortunes in the search for your own plunder-ous glory!
Right then! Here's where we'll post all of our thoughts and things, and what-so-ever occurs - generally kept OOC, of course.
I, again, reiterate that this is my first time with a PbP at the helm, and urge some form of patience - that said, I'm here to have fun, and make sure we all have fun as we tell this deadly and daring tale!
The gameplay thread will be placed soon after I've made my decisions, which will be those who are directed here. Chime in once you've found out you're in, please!
If you also still have any questions, feel free to put them here!
And the applications are closed. Reposting them in an ordered fashion, so I can look at them all and make my decisions. You'll know tonight, sooner than tomorrow morning, for sure.

You've not made this easy on me, I'm glad to say - this will take the better part of an hour now to get this done, and set up shop. That said, good luck to all of you! (Yes, even I wish it so!)
And the deadline approaches - ten minutes and counting! Let's see if we have any last-minute entries.
Note, I'm not annoyed by the RP; just bothered that it derailed for a page.

As I said, I'll be closing applications come Wednesday, 7 PM EST, and will have my choices up the following morning. Best of luck to you all, and any questions are welcome to be answered.
Alright. There's been a lot of rumormilling and a lot of gossip, and I'm not one to endorse such things.
I'm also frowning at how my thread was derailed into an RP accordance. I'm okay with it, to an extent, but I have to keep track of all my applicants.
I'm closing earlier than I intended to do, which was probably something I expected, and will close on Wednesday. I'll be posting again within the hour of all current applicants, so I can sort them out by finding one, single, post.
Yes, life hit me hard. Yes, I did pass that game off to a thread, because I couldn't consciously try to run two games at once when I knew I had only the time to 'run' one, and trying two would be a failure at that. That's my honesty, and that's what I have to say on that matter.
Alright, guys. Let's keep up the good will and hope, now. I'm looking forward to rugged raiders and plunderin' pirates - and cannonballs for all!
There's been a hiccup in my plans, and I've found that, perhaps, my real life hangs in the balance. My time is not as plentiful as I once found it, for the influence of monetary gain (for I love coin, like a good pirate) is dire, and I need to fix this.
Therefore, I've gone to a lot of work to pass the reins along to a friend of mine, who will take over. I apologize I could not do so myself, but the workload may have been too much. Much joy to you all!
Don't you fret. I'm actually playing in this adventure path too (tonight, to be honest), and we've pretty much nailed this portion. I promise you, you won't be left without opportunities to do what's needed to be done.
That said, time for me to find where you are, and prepare a post tonight.
Alright. In the interest of time, I might end up making the days roll on faster than the path suggests. That way, we don't spend two months doing nothing but rolls.
If that is fine with everyone, I can make a decent post tonight, allowing you to actually start roleplaying again, and move us forward tomorrow.
Even if it's not fine - I'll still do this. How's that sound?
I've got all kinds of images in mind. Usually what I listen to is Roger McQuinn's album. This bein' a good song to make things with, 'course.
Jolly Roger
Expect me to post more details on what I've deduced tonight, and correct me on any mistakes, please! Thank you.
Oi, lads! Ye say you wan' in a contest of piratin'? Well, I've got news for the lot of ya!
Ye'll be swabbin' the deck 'til I say otherwise, or ye'll meet the captain's daughter, ye will! Ah-ha-harrrrr!
Still managing things, I'm actually working on this one right now. I have to keep an eye on my original thread, after all.
When you leave the waking world and return, suddenly everything's not as you left it. I'm excited to see so many new faces and posts, really am. This is only day one, and so many have already shown interest - I'm almost flattered, almost.
Alright! Reply time.
Alright. You got me to consider, and you got me to run it. I'll probably run it alongside the other, but I need a few days to set up shop for this one.
So, give me until about the weekend, and we'll see what we can do, alright? If GM Aperture should return, I'll gladly hand the reins back to him.
(Godspeed to you, GM A. Make it back safe!)
Thanks for the assistance, Henk! I've looked into the forums myself, and I think the rum ration will be tweaked at some point.
I might also be sympathetic to the 'moving faster' method, but some things will happen at pace. I'll try to keep us from getting too lagged behind by the number of days.
I also happened across a few useful excel sheets, so, NPC tracking is no longer an issue.
I'm awake with excitement to see what other ideas people can come forward with!

Welcome, ye who enter here. Your stay might be a tad longer than most, or you'll pass along like all who venture through. This be Port Peril, and I've come to tell you a tale, the likes of which you've never heard before...
I'm here to run an entertaining game of Skulls and Shackles here on this board, mostly after being convinced by a few friends that it'd be the right thing to do. So. Here's my first PbP GM experience, and let's do this right.
Character Creation!
Level: 1
Race: Core, APG, UC, UM, ARG (no custom races).
Class: Core, APG, UC, UM.
Archetypes: All Paizo, but Master Summoner; can't have 13d4+13 lantern archons pre-battle. Just no.
Alignment: Any - but be aware of your choices, and roleplay appropriately - it's all I ask!
Abilities: 20-pt buy.
Wealth: Average by class.
Character Traits: Two, one must be a Campaign Trait from the Player's Guide.
Backgrounds: I want them. Let me know how you ended up in the Port, or maybe some history of how you've been there so long, and unnoticed!
DM Expectations:
- I would like players who can post a minimum of 1 post per weekday.
- I'm looking for characters - not optimized sheets of numbers. While there are some dice-focused challenges, this AP in particular relies on good roleplaying, so that is the priority.
- I'm also looking for some form of party cohesion - a group that works together, survives together. Don't be close-minded, even if you're the most sinister of men.
- I expect at least one post per day - if we're in combat, we'll try to heighten the pace, but I may end up doing combat by narrative as opposed to a gridmap. This is also up to debate once we're decided.
- Mostly concepts are fine with me here, but I don't mind seeing a full character.
- Also: Applications will close in a week's time, or until I see sufficient choices to choose from. Looking for 4-5 capable players.
That said, I'm also enabling firearms as per the S&S books, at Golarion standard. If I'm missing anything in this ad, please, inform me. I admit to being new, but have run many games offline.
