    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Something like that might be workable- at this point, Flynn is likely to have some connection (albeit hardly recent) to Kat and Old Zef. Depending on how long Blaise has been on the island, we might have come in on the same ship- Flynn is likely to have arrived only recently, and has been (a bit...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Had a bit of a breakthrough at work today- now I just need to get everything typed up to submit. For the time being, I'm going to run with Flynn O'Rourke, drunken surgeon and accursed swordsman, assuming that the background passes muster (in this case, on a couple of levels). I'm going to save...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    1. Question for the GM: How much leeway do we have in using NPCs associated with 'departed' PCs? (in particular Sir D'Arcy, who seems like a fine fellow to hate) 2. Question for the GM and/or Queenie: How long ago did Kat's father Blackheart meet his end? (It seems fairly recent, from reading...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Sounds like an interesting character there, Matthan. If you want to consider roles, you may want to lean towards Master Gunner- if my character takes a role, it would be Surgeon (Half-Dead John, if I go that route, would not be an officer at all; he also has a bucket of hate for slavers...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Anyone else have a vote or thoughts on my concept ideas? Yea/nay/what about this? The weekend kind of got away from me, but I'm still whittling the contestants into shape.

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    First pass on concepts So I have chewed through the setting pdf (and I'm working through the IC), and I've winnowed the list of concepts down to three. (I have also drwan some inspiration from 7th Sea, and the Rogues Gallery CDs; I still wish I could find my copy of GURPS Swashbucklers to help...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Starting with some basic questions, which may help narrow the field of concepts: 1. Would the 'Archery' fighting style apply to cannons and similar heavy weapons? How about the Sharpshooter feat? If no in either case, could a similar style or feat, specific to heavy weapons, be created? (for a...

    In addition to our gnomish engineer, Kelsynn Ironhand is a dwarven ex-military smuggler who has some engineering background. In addition to work as a rigger and cargomaster, she does a lot of the heavier repair and/or building work. She wouldn't mind some extra help, though- it looks like this...

    Still chewing on the stuff here. For questions, should I post them here or would a PM be more appropriate?

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I'm going through the setting pdf now and making some notes for possible concepts. I'm also likely to borrow some ideas from my library of 7th Sea books.

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I'm interested in applying. Any thoughts on the use of UA materials (especially the Waterborne Adventuring stuff) or similar sources (Elemental Evil companion, etc.)? Perhaps an ex-zombi half-orc (fighter? ranger? barbarian?) or a cultured surgeon with a dark secret...

    I used to be far more familiar with the Realms, back in the day. Then I moved on to other settings, and the Realms canon kept getting deeper. The Forgotten Realms wiki is very helpful.

    D&D 5E (2014) [D&D 5E] Securing the Alliance: An Adventure in Tethyr (FULL)

    Singing Leaf is basically ready for review (post 67). I still have some detail work to complete, like a full equipment list, and copying in class abilities, but there should be enough in place at this stage. If I have missed something, please let me know so I can fix it before the deadline.

    WORK IN PROGRESS- "Singing Leaf" (Mostly done; still needs detailed equipment list, and to have class abilities copied in. SHOULD BE IN GOOD ENOUGH SHPE TO BE REVIEWED): "Singing Leaf" >Her real name, in Sylvan, is "Rustling song of the leaves stirred by the first breeze at an autumn sunrise"...

    I'm going to be away from my computer most of tomorrow (at work) and a lot of the weekend (last serious hiking of the season, likely). I'll try to finalize and flesh out a concept by Monday. so far, still looking at these: 1. Mountain dwarf; Fighter (+Ranger and/or Rogue); Background is a mix...

    D&D 5E (2014) [D&D 5E] Pirates of the Spheres: Captain's Privilege (Recruiting)

    So far, it looks like we have: 1. Human FTR/ROG/Warlock (Captain) 2. Gnome Wizard (Engineer) 3. Wood elf Druid (Environmental/healing) 4. Mountain dwarf Warlock (Helm) +possible warforged >At this point, I'm thinking either Brute Squad (especially if we DON'T have a warforged) or...
