About the adventure

It is the height of the "Era of Salt and Gold" on the great seas of Keladora. The tenuous truce between the Seven Pirate Lords still holds, even after their combined strength eliminated the Leviathan infestation that once plagued the world. With their common threat now gone, their alliance is the only thing keeping their fleets and allies from warring amongst themselves; focusing them on their true enemies: anyone who would stand between them and glory. The world has entered a golden age of piracy and you are a pirate. Why do the seas call to you? Do you want to: 🌊 Uncover the secrets and treasures from the Lost World? ⚔️ Make a name for yourself by killing and unseating a Pirate Lord? 🌍 Chart the the seas the lie beyond the World's End? 💰 Retire comfortably with your “earned” mountain of gold? 🏴‍☠️ Find a place you can truly belong and a crew that you can believe in? You staked your life and found a ship and a crew that would take you, but now your captain's dead. It's time to figure out what comes next. ----------- Rapscallion by Whistler ----------- Rapscallion is a roleplaying game that plunges you and your friends into the waters of the Great Sea, churning with danger and wonder! The call of treasures unknown is too great for you and your crew of misfits to ignore. Board your ship with your steadfast crewmates and set sail across the unknown to secure your legacy and might. In Rapscallion, you might duel atop heaving ship decks, commit dark deeds to protect those you care about most, but you cannot escape the vices that haunt you along the way! Play as a haunted captain possessed by a thousand vengeful ghosts, a bound djinni trapped within a magical book, a dark sea-sorcerer who made a deal with a demon for power, or a mysterious navigator who stole the heart of the ocean itself.

About me

Hey there! I'm Kendrick or Kendo, whichever you prefer, and I want to be your Game Master! Quick things you should know about me: I'm a 30 year-old, queer, neurodivergent, black nerd who's been playing TTRPGs since 2012. I love body horror, political intrigue, improv comedy, mecha anime, and the weird places where fantasy and sci-fi meet. I started my foray into TTRPGs playing D&D 4e in high school when a friend of mine got me into watching the Counter Monkey series on The Spoony Experiment. Hearing him recount tales of friends and strangers coming together to tell the wildest stories possible always made my heart race as I yearned to do the same. Now I can. Nowadays, I primarily run lots of non-D&D-esque TTRPGs like Monster Hearts 2, Rapscallion, and Kids on Bikes. Though I prefer using Tales of the Valiant or Chasing Adventure for my heroic fantasies, I still love getting down and dirty with D&D 5e. I'm mostly known for being on the marketing team for Kobold Press and as the creator and GM of the queer-horror actual play podcast, Tales Yet Told. If you want to get a sense of how I run things, you should check it out. https://www.TalesYetTold.com

Safety

How Kendo creates a safe table

~ ~ SAFETY TOOLS ~ ~ LINES/VEILS Players will receive a link to a shared Lines/Veils sheet that will act as a living document over the course of our campaign. You are encouraged to fill it out before our Session 0 to set a foundation for our safety discussion. STORY PALETTE We will also be using The Palette tool (I originally discovered this through Microscope by Ben Robbins) to further define what specific concepts and themes we want to explore together. We'll fill out the palette in Session 0. X, N, & O CARDS During session we will be "X, N, & O's" to signal how we're feeling during play and if we need to stop to discuss what is happening above table. POST SESSION DEBRIEF At the end of every session there will be space for a debriefing and for stars, wishes, & sparkles as we reflect on the time we had together.
