Serpent’s Skull and Pirate’s Shackle


Skull & Shackles


Hello everyone,

One of our AP will soon come to an end.(we play 3-4 times a week) It was decided that, again, I’ll be DMing. I asked my players which AP they want to do, the result:
- 3 for Serpent’s Skull
- 3 for Skull and Shackle
I read the 2 AP and I thought: Can they be merged?

So I read every supplement I had on Sargava, The Shackle, etc.

What I thought:

Divide the campaign in two part:

The first part include the Skull and Shackle AP, Tower of the Last Baron, Treasure of the Chimera Cove and From Shore to Sea.
The second part is about the Serpent’s Skull AP, changing the flavor for the Cannibal Isles and using the mythic rules.

Here the parameter:
- E6
- Common firearms (no advanced)
- Wound and Vigor System
What do you think? Can this be done?

Sure, replace Bonewrack with Smuggler's Shiv.

Racing to Ruin can be made part of the Regatta.

Isle of Empty Eyes contains the City of Seven Spears.

e6 means a lot of converting anyway.


The conversion for E6 Skull and Shackle is already done. I'm playing one with another group, me and the other dm already did it.

I thought about :
- replacing Smuggler's Shiv with Raptor Island
- replacing the race with a Regatta style race.
- replacing the city of seven spear with Gagnasau (and the Cannibal Isle)
- replacing opposing faction with only three:
1.Lady Bloodmourn (Shackle)
2.Cheliaxian Army (Invading Army)
3.Red Mantis
- replacing the Gorilla King with the Kuru


I'll be doing a introduction quest for each character.

Since one of them new to Golarion, I want to help him to familiarize with the universe. I'll be doing a short Count of Monte Cristo like story for him.
- Which country should be involve in his background?

For the other one, they know much more about Golarion, so I'll wait for their background, but do you have any idea?

I'm actually doing the same thing in my forthcoming Skull & Shackles campaign (one of my players is a huge fan of Alexander Dumas and all things swashbucklery). There really isn't any better choice than Cheliax. It's a Lawful Evil nation where people are frequently thrown in jail for politics and personal vendettas, plus...

Spoiler:
they are revealed to be one of the major antagonists in the later books of S&S.

(Resurrection!). Sorry for the free Rez, but I was wondering for those of you that may still be around whether or not you had any material saved for this combo, I'm looking to do the same thing here and any content already available would be grand.
