Privateers and Gentlemen roleplaying game
So you’ve just successfully defended your ship, the Margaret Swan, from the Brits, who have this ridiculous hard-nosed attitude towards pirates. And you’re celebrating in the pirate haven of Campostela Bay. But … there are a couple of problems. First, you didn’t kill all the Brits. That will annoy them. Second, you blew up their ship, which will make them very unhappy. Last, the only ship left around here that floats is yours, and there are a number of wet, angry anti-pirate British naval officers and ratings who are about to take their mad out on you. Including a Highlander who is truly ticked off because the ship you sank … had his best kilt aboard and his beloved longbow too.
This game will use pre-generated characters so we can get down to the mayhem as soon as possible. Walter Jon Williams rules “Privateers and Gentlemen” will be used. You can assume you are in big trouble. Right off the bat. And that you are not completely sober. Heh. For 4-6 pirates. Should there be huge interest, I can also run 4-6 Gentlemen. Side by side, so to speak. Eventually face to face. So just how sharp is your cutlass?
