About the adventure
Forge your legend on the high seas where every choice shapes your rise to power. Survive being press ganged, hunt legendary treasure, command your own ship, and build a fearsome fleet. Navigate deadly naval battles, uneasy alliances, and ruthless betrayals on your path to becoming the Hurricane King or Queen. Skull and Shackles is a 1e adventure path where you are press ganged to be pirates. Turns out, you get pretty good at BEING pirates so it all works out. This is a level 1 - 15ish adventure where you start off as a nobody crewmate against your will and eventually get your own ship and take on the high seas. Very naval warfare focused and aggressively pirate themed. You are expected to have less scruples than the average pathfinder 1e game.

About me
Hello all! I have been GMing for 15 years now. I started with Starwars d20 which is what KOTOR was based on. From there I moved on to 3.5th Edition D&D, converted to Pathfinder 1e, then back to 5th Edition D&D, and finally landed on Pathfinder 2e as my primary system. I have ran GURPS, Mutants and Masterminds, and World of Darkness. My favorite thing about GMing, and TTRPGs in general, is seeing how I can make all the pieces fit on the fly. Taking a character's backstory and baking it into the story so well that you wont be able to think of one without thinking of the other. Characters growing and changing as the story progresses in key pivotal moments is what TTRPGs are all about.
