About the adventure
Down your grog and draw your cutlass. The high sea awaits you. Welcome to Skull and Shackles, a 1-14 Adventure run by yours truly. This campaign is not meant for Paladins and other such goodie-two-shoes. If you're looking to really let loose as a character, and fulfill that Pirate dream that we all have, then jump in with us! Control your own ship with a crew either provided or hand-picked, and sail these seas in search of treasure and mischief. You will come into contact with not only other pirates but creatures of the sea best left forgotten. New players are welcome, in fact, most of my 14 years Gming have been onboarding new players to the game, so don't hesitate to join if you've never played before. So join us brave adventurer and board your vessel. There is much to plunder.

About me
Greetings! I am Ciaran King O'Leary (Actually my real name. It doesn't get more Irish) Right off the bat, I want to make it very clear that my Number One goal as a DM is fun. Fun for both you the players and myself as the DM. I promote great roleplay and sometimes that leads to conflicts in game. I want to make sure those conflicts stay in game, and we can explore those roleplay opportunities without it turning into a fight to the death. We're all here to have fun, so let's not make it harder on each other. I have been both playing and running games of Pathfinder 1e for 15 years now. I have run horror games, high fantasy games, and so many more. I do also run DND 5e games, but not professionally at the moment. If you're looking to book me for a 5e game, I'm definitely open to it! I offer both Adventure Paths created by Paizo and my own Custom World and Adventure. I own every adventure path that has been officially released,so if there's one in particular you want to play in, please let me know! (Not Kingmaker.) I believe I am a fair GM, often employing "Rule of Cool" in situations I feel warrant it. I almost always use Hero Points to add some flavor to the room, and as far as I'm concerned, Elephant in the Room is a must-have for any Pathfinder 1e game. That's not to say there is no danger. I make all of my rolls in the open (unless otherwise required for story or tension). I offer 24/7 access to the Foundry World for your game. I have purchased a license for each one of them so that you can make edits to your character whenever you wish. This includes over 100 Modules working together to deliver as immersive an experience as possible. Beginners need not fear though, I am a great teacher and very patient, so we will get you up to speed asap. Before we begin each session, I will be reading out a Recap of the previous week's Session. These will be available to read at any time, both in the Foundry World and in my Discord Channel K.O. Gaming. I'm looking forward to playing with you all soon!

Creating your character
We can either make the characters during Session 0, or if you like to build on your own, I will give you access to our Foundry Vtt world and I will review it. Either way, we will be going over our builds during Session 0. We will be doing Point-Buy 20 for this. The only thing I ban at my table is the Leadership feat, though there are builds and classes that aren't the best for this kind of story. there is more about this in the Players Guide for Skull and Shackles.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need a fairly decent Computer or Laptop to run the Foundry world with the effects and Mods that I use. You will also need a somewhat quiet place to play and a mic that doesn't sound like a potato.
What K.O. Gaming brings to the table
I offer a discord for the players to chit-chat in, and that's what we will be using for voice as well during Sessions. I provide my vast knowledge of the Module and Pathfinder 1e as a whole. I strive as a GM to make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves equally. Every week at the beginning of the game I will read a recap of the previous session, and those will be available to read both on the Discord and the Foundry world.
