About This Game

You are a privateer – an officer of the crew of the Swift Vengeance, whose captain, Melara Zentaru, holds a Letter of Marque and Reprisal from the High Queen of Andaron, to harass the shipping of the rival nation of Iverina. You are not a pirate – an enemy of all sentient beings everywhere – and are expected to follow the Laws of War – but so are the Iverinans you fight.

Detailed Description

The Campaign

Twenty years ago, the rival nations of Andaron and Iverina exhausted themselves in a fruitless decades-long war. Without the funds to rebuild their navies, Iverina focused on rebuilding its treasury with maritime commerce, while Andaron began to commission private ship-owners to fight for it. The High Queen of Andaron issued Letters of Marque and Reprisal authorizing these individuals and their crews to harass Iverinan shipping, capture and sell ships, and ransom prisoners.

Melara Zentaru is the elven captain-owner of the Swift Vengeance, an elven wingship of great renown among Andaroni and great infamy among the Iverinans, rumoured to be the one who influenced the High Kingdom of Andaron to establish the privateer system in the first place. She is currently hiring new crew, including daring adventurers to be her officers, her boarding party, her away team and troubleshooters.

 

 

This is a 9th level gestalt 3.5e game with quite a few house rules, which you should skim first to see you find them palatable and then read in detail as you work on your character. See the character creation rules, and subscribe to the Announcements thread. Once your character thread is reasonably complete, head over to The Purple Dolphin Inn for a pre-game IC that will help me decide if I like the things you post; after your character checks in with the First Mate, you'll get a private interview with the Captain.

Game closes to new applications at the end of the official application period. Players who have created a character thread by that time will have time to complete their applications and engage in the required pre-game IC.

 

  1. What's new in this game
  2. I don't suppose we could appoint an interim DM, grab the stats for a few monsters, and run a mini-adventure with the characters we've built...? Until Dalamb can (hopefully) resume?
  3. Very sad, but I’ll always be game to play! Good luck and hope to see you again!
  4. Well, Thorvald was made for this game only. So, he'll be waiting for when you get back on your feet. Good luck on your RL adventures!
  5. The news is sadly disappointing. If things change, feel free to drop me a PM if you are interested in having my character reapply. -Kelly
  6. PM me if you want to continue the interview with my character when you feel like trying again.
  7. Best of luck, dalamb! Let us know if you ever restart this. Cheers to all the (now disappointed) applicants still hanging around here. It was fun.
  8. It has become painfully clear that right now I cannot continue with this game at any reasonable pace. I have hopes that i can resume in a couple of months, but as you have all seen my predictions are pretty much horrible failures. I am very sorry to have wasted the time of so many creative people.
  9. Mëoita is just napping in the rafters of the Inn while everyone is chattering.
  10. Just like everyone else, I’m at an impasse. I think we just need a few words from our fearless leader.
  11. Yeah, I am waiting on feedback too, otherwise semi stalled.
  12. I'm happy to keep responding to anybody who engages with me IC, but I have little motivation to keep instigating until we learn whether this game is actually going to happen, or if the DM has been forced to give up on it for real-life reasons. If that's the case, well, it was fun building a high-level character and playing around a bit with you folks. I learned a lot from it. ☺️
  13. I'm happy to host a wresting competition, but only if there's anybody interested. If not, dalamb probably has plenty to go on for judging each of us, so the pressure's eased up somewhat.
  14. The Purple Dolphin Inn seems like it's stalled...is there anything anyone wants to do? Or are we waiting for feedback from Dalamb?
  15. OMG I found an AI music writer you just give lyrics! F*ing hilarious
  16. Once my health recovered, all my energy went into finishing a draft of a book and submitting it to a publisher - which I did yesterday. I apologize for lack of communication; I kept telling myself "I'll catch up in-game after today's editing session" and kept spending all my time on the manuscript. Today is catching up with Real Life stuff for the most part.
  17. Lastanor Nightwater "Rib Lilysinger, with a heart so brave, from the shores of Vern to the ocean wave..." Lastanor quietly sang to himself, one room over, "He sings in tune and sings in rhyme, which is good 'cause he's singing all the time." He blinked, "...Huh, that did rhyme." Lastanor raised his arms and stretched out with a yawn, before looking around at the room around him. The former bathhouse around him had laid abandoned for a long time before being claimed by the Purple Dolphin inn next door; as a result, ivy and moss had grown into the walls, and that combined with a visit from a druid had resulted in the former bathhouse now resembling an indoor lagoon. Stepping forward, Lastanor's robes flaked away into wispy shadowstuff as he approached the naturalized pool, leaving the sahuagin clad in aquatic-elf-esque swimwear. Bending down and poking his webbed hand in the water, checking that it was actually seawater (which it was, if slightly filtered), Lastanor smiled, checking his waterproof satchels to make sure they were sealed properly before stepping in and slowly sinking beneath the surface of the once-bath, now lagoon. Depositing said satchels at the bottom of the pool, the sahuagin allowed himself to drift, taking in the comfortable watery environment. Unfortunately, that was when one of the inn's serving staff happened to walk past the lagoon and see what looked like a mutant shark swimming around in the water. "EEEEK!!" Their brief but dramatic yelp of surprise could be distinctly heard from just about anywhere in the Purple Dolphin and perhaps outside as well. Mechanics
  18. First of the month always rough for me, hopefully can rejoin the RP soon
  19. Dalamb, do we have an estimated date for player selection?
  20. here, but I am sure you have to enchant it as if it were a double weapon. is more expensive in PF, but this version is applied to armor/shields.
  21. Can we have Bayonet weapon from Song and Silence on crossbow? Also wanting to enchant with Harmonizing from City of Splendors: Waterdeep?
  22. I likely won't be able to post until Wednesday. It's the first day of shakeup at work and I'll be adjusting to my new routes.
  23. The Stage - Erika and Rib As Rib starts to sing and play, Sven waits to get a feel for the tune before joining in with his flute. Perform(Woodwinds)
