About the adventure
You've been called to hunt for a legendary treasure, the remains of the Gilded Pirate, Poppy von Barnacle! This freebooter and patron saint of Rumplank is an iconic image of derring-do, high adventure, and swashbuckling stunts. Let's see if you're up to the challenge! This campaign runs 1-10 and takes place not in Golarion, but in the technicolor jungles of the Indigo Isles, a tropical archipelago where elves, humans, and dwarves, are hardly ever seen. Parrotfolk, coralfolk, pigfolk, leshy, sprites, goatfolk, rockfolk, axolotlfolk, along with a few other ancestries (these all have in-setting info and proper names). You can read a bit about the Indigo Isles on Roll for Combat's product page: https://battlezoo.com/products/world-of-battlezoo-indigo-isles-pdf-preorder. You can read the player's guide at https://tinyurl.com/8snd3wrd Major themes of this adventure are high seas adventure, exploration and discovery, social encounters and information gathering, and a strange new world. On that last point, the creatures you fight are overwhelmingly Battlezoo products--if you're tired of seeing the same old critters from the Bestiaries, this might be a fun adventure for you! We'll be using Gradual Ability Boost, Ancestry Paragon (so we can get the most out of these fun new Battlezoo ancestries, which you are encouraged but not required to play), and a limited Free Archetype with pre-approved thematic options including Pirate (with expanded options from the adventure as well as Archetypes+), Swashbuckler, Rumplank Reveler, Dandy, Fireworks Technician, Folklorist...I'll have a full list, revisable on request! Since we're starting at first level this can be a fun option for new players. I have a few veterans coming by who can provide some friendly guidance and advice.

Additional details
How to prepare
- Solid internet connection with a decently loud/clear mic - Discord account - Free Foundry Forge account (it runs in the browser) - A good attitude and willingness to learn and work together!
What I provide
- Persistent Foundry Forge server done up with lighting effects, music, and the bells and whistles of automated animation effects and automation. - Friendly Discord community with a private campaign channel--no spoilers for other folks, and the general channels often have game discussion, memes, etc - Curated soundtrack (I'm gonna be plundering some pirate tunes for this one) - Tactical combat with flexibility for improvised actions - Character voices and off-beat characterization that will hopefully endear my NPCs to you -- or make you *really* hate them depending on the approach GM style wise, I would love there to be a good amount of roleplay in this campaign and will attempt to make space for it! There should be some opportunity for downtime as well.
Gameplay details
We'll have an X-card icon easily clickable on the side of the token management system on Foundry, which will send up an automated and anonymous card for everyone. That said, I do not anticipate the need for it in this rather light-hearted adventure! Our session 0 will likely be combined with a little bit of session 1, as I encourage folks to put characters together ahead of time on the persistent Foundry Forge server. It'll be used mainly to establish existing relationships, describe the world a bit, and make some introductions!

How will character creation work
We'll put characters together mostly in the Discord/on the persistent server ahead of time. Characters start at first level with the variant rules mentioned above in play, standard starting gold of 15. There are campaign-specific backgrounds that you may choose but are not required to--you can check em in the players' guide https://tinyurl.com/8snd3wrd. Ancestries on the isles will also be appropriate, but not required!
