It is. Right now, it's hard to get anywhere without someone to run it.
Hey Sunny! I remember you from the last S&S recruitment I was in.
Players in so far,
Shadowy Fox and friends
* Aasimar monk (flowing monk/sacred mountain)
* Half-orc barbarian
* Druid of undecided race
Other applicants.
DekoTheBarbarian
The Pale King - Rogue
Carious Resana
SCKnightHero1 - Cavilier
Tamesis Kieran
Lirya Stormborn
Tendal Deverin
Drak Roberts - Swashbuckler
"Sunny"
Pink-Eye
I think thats everyone.
I cannot with Tendal. However I will make a sailmaster/mage to ensure proper wizardly ability.
I would be interested in running this if nightdeath can't. If he can, I would like to throw this avatar in for consideration.
*Waves merrily to Carious Resana*
Hey-YA there! (^_^)
I'd be interested in trying a hydrokineticist if this gets off the ground. Probably Undine, but open to other races.
I'm cool by that. If you want to post the creation rules, and I'll make sure my friends get their characters all set up.
Sweet! Now my character will be chaotic good if that's okay. She'll be an undine, but still debating if I want to do a cavalier, a magus, or a ranger who I later multiclass with fighter.
I think I mentioned I'd like to play, but I'd be interested.
Who ever ends up DMing this, just aa quick bit of info to help you out, as the first book can be a bit of a pain to run via Pbp's:
This campaign is an awesome one so I hope it goes well for you guys!
(Also, don't let the players play races with swim-speeds/water breathing. Makes it more challenging and fun!)
I saw DM Crustypeanut chimed in and thought I'd offer my two cents as well.
I'm a fairly experienced PBP GM, and I definitely think the first section of this campaign is VERY difficult to run. I'm in the first section of Book 1 with a group of very good players who I have another game with as well, and I've said I can see why so many people never get through it (I tried twice as a player and both times the GM disappeared).
I think DM Crustypeanut's advice is strong. I'd also recommend making yourself a spread sheet detailing each of the NPC pirates -- I use that to keep track of their attitudes toward the PCs, but also maybe give yourself a quick physical description of each (the module doesn't have that for all of them), plus some motivations/quirks/etc. so you can quickly characterize each one when it comes up.
Also, the rum rations don't really work as written IMO. Truthfully, we ended up dropping that, because it became more of a pain to use than anything fun. (There's a lot of advice in this regards in the S&S forum, which I wish I'd read before starting.)
Good luck, all!
I put a list of applicants up above. But i know both Sunny and I want to play. And i'm sure others.
I second the bit about rum rations. I've seen characters die from it. Not good. Interesting concept, but not well implemented.

Checking....How many players are interested here?
I'm pretty sure I saw Shadowy Fox and friends.
Tiny Coffee Golem

Let me think up the Character Rules, I'm hoping to make a better showing for this one then my previous one.
Nightdeath, I am in. Arcane or possibly divine, to fill what is needed. I had the Tendal character earlier.
Is this the ship that goes to the cylopean ruins of Ghol-Gan?
I saw you mention PFS credit? I'm not a PFS player, but how exactly does that affect those who aren't interested in getting it? I know there are rules for things like "campaign mode" in which you can use house rules and such, but I don't know if you were planning on doing this or not, and how that would affect the game.
I ask because I'd love to revive a character in an S&S game I played IRL, but died off as the GM had run it before and decided to switch games. He was originally a hybrid class, called the Grenadier, which was effectively a hybrid class version of the gunslinger and alchemist. I'd love to play him as that class specifically, although if it simply isn't possible I wouldn't mind playing him as an alchemist.
I can get you the copy of the Grenadier, which was made by the old S&S GM, if you'd be willing to have Pelleas aboard your ship. Also, as a note, I HAVE played through the first book of the adventure path, but we stopped right at the beginning of the second book.
Hey there. I'm actually JDPhipps old GM from his first S&S game. He pointed me toward this game and I'm definitely interested in giving it a try as a player as long as you don't mind someone who's read the books around. We're looking at the possibility of playing two characters that play off each other. We're still working out details, but if that would be okay, we've got some interesting ideas cooking.

Been looking for a Skull and Shackles game for ages now. Waited to see if this one was picked up first though, no use in getting my hopes up for a game that isn't even there to begin with.
The idea for the character would be a Besmaran Druid using the Kraken Caller archetype from the Dirty Tactics Toolbook.
I will rebuild Drak here to a 22 point buy. I should have him ready tomorrow. But i really want to play this AP and the last time i got into on the GM vanished after a week. It sucked.
O' course Chauncy loves eatin' tha' fishes!
They is a 'Sea-gryphon' after all. (^_^)
Nah, that's fine, I figured. In that case, I think I'll be playing a different character. I do have a question or two first, though. First, are you using any Unchained rules, like background skills or skill unlocks? Also, what is your opinion on firearms? My character would likely end up going for a sword-and-pistol build, using a knife and a set of pistols. If you're open to advanced firearms I'd likely switch to a revolver, but I was planning on using several pistols and switching between them. Also, are you using the current errata for feats like Slashing Grace, or would you allow a character to get DEX to damage with it while wielding a gun in their off-hand?
Again, just let me know how you feel about both those things and I'll get working on a character.
You could always get a weapon cord for it. Then you drop attack with the sword then swift action it back to your hand.
Okay then, screw it. If I'm gonna be consistently overlooked despite saying I was interested in playing if someone else ran, then screw you guys, I'm going home. Wait, I'm already home. DAMN YOU SOUTH PARK, YOU LET ME DOWN AGAIN!
Hmm... that's unfortunate on the Unchained, especially background skills. Oh well, I'll make the build work. I might have to leave out some skills I want, but I'll live.
Right now my idea is an alchemist. I'm definitely using the Toxicant (Dirty Tactics Toolbox) and maybe Vivisectionist. I'm thinking a tiefling that brings out his fiendish power with potions and extracts. Probably a natural attack build focusing on claws and that kind of thing.
Also, just to clarify because I'm a little confused on this point... are Unchained classes allowed? You mentioned that all classes are allowed expect for Occult Adventures, but also mentioned Unchained rules were off the table. I'd be interested in an Unchained Rogue, but I'm not sure that's actually something I'd be able to play.
I'm switching gears here and going to submit a undine magus. I'm about to leave work so I'll have to do the stats once I get back to my house.
So, when you say no rerolls, you mean, if you choose the roll option, then you can't (if the rolls are bad) choose the 22 point buy? I just want to make sure I understand that right.
*Hugz Korak The Boisterous* (^_^)
The Dirty Tactics Toolbox is a recent Paizo release focused on roguish characters and that kind of thing. It has some very handy new feats and rules for rogues, alchemists, and anyone with sneak attacks, dirty tricks, poisons, or other alchemical items. The stuff from it is already up on the PFSRD if I remember correctly.
Also doing the rolls to see what I get:
Okay, that's just less that 22 point buy anyway. Point buy it is.
You mentioned guns would be rare; how rare were you thinking? I'm working on a sword and pistol build, but I'm not sure if I'd want to go that route if it would be difficult to buy or find multiple pistols to use. The build already suffers a bit from being rogue-based, so Snap Shot and such come at a later level, so if it'd be difficult or impossible to get enough pistols to make the build practical, I think I'll probably pass on that idea.
