Hi all! Yeah, ten days is way too long. Honestly, I completely forgot about my pbp games.
I think I ought to bow out. I'm not used to being this busy, with pbp being my usual RPG outlet, but I'm just not keep ing up with most of my games.
Sorry folks!

FYI: neat setting, and I'll keep lurking. I would also like to keep picking people's brains for other material, as I have been.
I'd like to keep posting, I'm just not sure it's fair to the group while my schedule and ability to keep up is so up in the air.

Quickleaf, I don't know if there is a nice way to say this but you big ol meanie! OMG the Governor is totally badass! Poor Kat, she's going to have a hell of a time trying to get mini Kat back... Or die trying 
I hope she gets her before the Governor totally turns the little one against her. What a great villain and nemesis!

Well, like QL mentioned, crew on pirate ships are always coming and going. Or you could be on the crew and when your schedule allows it join in the adventure here and there? I can't speak for everyone but I don't mind it... As long as the central story isn't waiting on your character to move forward.
Only you know what your schedule is like and what your potential posting might be.

Hey mate, no worries. Hope things clear up for you!
Queenie has the right of it, I am very flexible about players coming and going. Everyone has something come up once in a while, even the DM!
If you think you'd like to come back at some point, we can do a "Fade to Crew" for Varlok, so he's in the background somewhere nebulously until you come back. For now, what I'll do is keep your spot warm until a bit after New Year's, and then if you still are suffering too busy-itis, I'll open up the spot for another. Or if you decide to come back, I can give you a snapshot of where things stand and you can "reactivate" Varlok from the crew. Sound like a plan?
I'm also considering being more flexible about increasing your party to 8 players should there be sufficient interest. We can cross that bridge later though, after I get more familiar with 5e and PbP both.
Glad you approve! Er, in a disapproving way?Queenie said:
Too often the "Governor" archetype in swashbuckling movies is a mambsy-pansy pushover. Not this Governor! You guys probably don't want to directly confront him until 8th or 9th level at least.
[SBLOCK]Well, to be fair, I first was thinking of making him a vampire (CR 13) but then as I fleshed him out I realized he screamed "Lich!" However in the Monster Manual the Lich is CR 21! Which I knew was way too high for this campaign. So I settled on splitting the differen and making my own flawed lich at CR 16. So really you should be thanking me for not making him a full Lich
Mwahaha?[/SBLOCK]

Easy explanation: My acceptable losses are higher8 or 9th level seems a bit low for a CR 16 monster, unless I'm missing something.
Especially if he has minions handy...
But figuring out how to get him will be entertaining indeed!
Joking. I did play test with a group of 8th level PCs against a lich and a blackroot Treant, but both the monsters in the play test were way toned down. We will see, should be interesting. Oh, and you guys have Lives too!
Hey, quick question for you: did you have any thoughts on what Smiling Jack is? Or do I have a totally free hand with writing him up / interpreting him as an existing aberration?
