[QUOTE="trilobite, post: 1277037, member: 15531"] I am starting a [B]Skull and Bones[/B] pirate game in January and I wanted to get some feedback on what have planned. Any ideas would be appreciated. :) The game is set in 1700 in the Caribbean. So far I have the following player characters: -A Spanish Fighter/Sea Dog whom hates Spain and has a Captain Complex. -A English Catholic Rogue. He is a man of learning who got in trouble with English noble and has been exiled to the Carib. -A Old Sea Dog by the name of Scurvy Pete. -A hard drinking English Buccaneer/Ranger whom happens to have gills on the sides of his torso. Has had them since birth. His father was a hard drinking buccaneer and he didn’t know his mother. -A two fisted Buccaneer without a good background yet. The main story line I have is that in 1519, Hernan Cortez during the Conquest of the Maya came upon an overgrown Mayan temple in the jungles of the Yucatan. A mad Mayan shaman had lead Cortez to it saying that there was lots of gold and treasure to be had. In truth the temple was a gate way to Xibalba, the Mayan Underworld. Cortez and his men entered with many of them finding madness and death. Cortez made hasty retreat but not before finding some treasure which included 7 Crystal Skulls. Once out the treasure was sent back on the Spanish Treasure Fleet. The ship carrying the Skulls was attacked by pirates and looted. The Skulls were then scattered across the Caribbean as the pirates sold their booty. The skulls are magical and contain the life force of the Mayan Lords of Death. They were placed there after their demise by the hands of the Hero Twins, Hunaphu and Xbalanque. Since the skulls have been removed from the underworld they have started to lose their ability to contain the Lords of Death. Given time the Lords will be freed again to bring death and destruction to the world. Fast forward to 1700, A Spanish Admiral seeing the weakening and breaking up of the Spanish Empire wishes to return Spain to its former glory. His Mayan concubine, who in reality is a vampire, has planted the thought in his mind that if he can gather the crystal skulls together that they would give him the power needed to bring the down fall of England and France and the return of Spanish Domination with him as it's King. He has no idea that the skulls contain the Lords of Death. Enter the PC's, the would be pirates get a ship and make their first capture, which happens to contain one of the skulls. Soon the Spanish Admiral shows up and takes their new ship and maroons them or worse. After that I am stumped. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
