Anyone interested in a pirate roleplay?? 1x1

Well, while I'm here, I may as well offload a few ships and crewmembers.

Raleigh 'One Leg' Srarka (Heavywieght Naga, lengthwise, she's as big as the ship)

Harding 'Banished' Beckwith (Swashbuckling Tiefling Trickster-Bard)

And some gunslinger named "Jack", not that Jack, or the other Jack, we named the Drider "Jack". And this, is his gun.

And now, for a collection of boat-spam:

BOATS

They'll typically do 9 to 13 kts, which is reasonably fast for their time.

Next up: Armaments between the three of them
I'm figuring a pair of swivels-mounts on the topsail for Jack to play with, and another six on the gunwales, plus eight cannon-ports (four on each side).

As for actual armaments, about a dozen muskets, two volley-guns [rifled] (Chambers millitrouse is also an option, because 'merricuh) four rifles, two dozen pistols, twelve swivel-guns, and six twelve pounder carronades stowed all aft by the captain's quarters, with only two ready to fire.

I'll probably infodump multiple paragraphs about sailing, and the local weather patterns, though. And lore-wise Jack doesn't speak english and uses the rest of the crew to translate.

Also gonna ping @tealrootssss and @erikh

meh, i think having a small group for that RP idea could be cool. I could be a rando crew member maybe! idk, i have a lot on my plate anyways so maybe it's not the smartest idea.

@erikh

We all seem to be suffering from the same problem at the same time, but think the idea has merit.

Reconvene at a later time?

fair enough womp womp

@erikh

Wanna take my place?

I was just here to get the idea started.

So a Pirates vs convoy-escorts RP? Alt-reality age-of-sail and crossing the T and whatnot with fantasy-races actually kinda sounds like something we could pitch to a group.

Well, an idea I probably won't be able to do could be a small sailing vessel/private yacht traveling the world. What they do while traveling would be an added gimmick like solving crime, mythological (treasure)/xenobilogical (cryptid) exploration (hunting), or committing crimes. Although for a free-RP I'd suggest something simple as fight-club, but not a fight-club.

Another idea could be a team of test-pilots, or a flying exhibition team. Just add a few aliens and mechs and you'd have plenty of hooks in the water for that.

Another end of the coin would be a convoy/caravan escort traveling through pirate-infested waters/the green zone, basically just making sure everybody gets the basics for rebuilding a near/post-apocalyptic society. If that doesn't work, throw aliens zombies and cryptits at it until it is interesting. Lots of armed yachts/merchant-ships or mad-max gun-trucks to play with.

Shattered Steel - Armoured Fist. An RP about modern armoured vehicles in an alternate world

Mayhaps I be interested. I'll probably use something old a decrepit but modified.

Something like an M47E2 with a TOW missile system, ERA and cope-cages added; or some joint Ukraine-North Korean flavored T-62 mods with some hollywood-style Strela-1 missiles as the reality is kinda depressingly funny (but when it works, it works). Or some sort of advanced mortar system.

Alternately, like a vietnamese BMP-1 with extra rails of ex-Serbian 9M14-2T and an over-under config allowing for a GSh-23-2 or KPVT to get strapped-on in addition to a pintle-mounted AGS-17, and some flamethrowers firing out the hull-ports.

Or something Marder-1 based like the TAM or Begleitpanzer (gaming community calls it the infamous bagel-panzer).

Something super out-there would be an Archzeit/BMPT-62 crossbreed using the aformentioned modded BMP-1 turret.
