About the adventure
PIRATE BORG is a rules-light game set in an alternate version of the Golden Age of Piracy that's rife with magic, monsters, and fouler things still. The system is built with high lethality and higher freedom. Luckily making a new character is as simple as visiting the Tavern to roll up a new crewmate. Or have your sailor rise as the undead. We will start off going through The Curse of Skeleton Point mini campaign for a few sessions. After that, if the crew is willing, we will open up into a random rolltable-heavy open world campaign where the next wave could bring anything including • Deep sea humanoids looking to drag you to the seafloor • Rival pirate crews out for your loot • Massive ghost ships appearing from the fog • Eldritch monsters roaming the seas • Rat hordes overwhelming ship decks • Undead killers planning on expanding their ranks

About me
Hey I'm Malcolm. Are you ready for an adventure? ⚔️ 💫 🌩️ 💬 ☠️ 🦀 🔥 👣 🐚 🐉 I am new to GMing but I am a Cosmere veteran. I plan to get my feet wet on the rocky plains of Roshar in preparation for the streets of Scadrial becoming available later this year. Having some experience playing the Mistborn rule set in a playtest and another one shot, I am very excited for people to get into it. I've loved my opportunities to create sandbox situations with players. GMing those games has been the most fun I've had with the game yet. I have also been playing some Pathfinder2e and have a lot of interest in running other systems, specifically Pirate Borg and the Fallout RPG.

Creating your character
We will create random characters in-game and then another when that one dies! This is a high lethality game so don't get too attached to a character. If you have a class in mind you want to start with, we can make that work too.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is Discord, a mic, and a web browser to run Foundry VTT. I provide some resources you can look over before the game as well.
What Malcolm / Rolling with Meez brings to the table
I look to provide a fun and immersive world to roleplay in. This is a wide-open space for the party to explore whatever they can think of across the Dark Caribbean. I will provide an overview of the rules and world as well as a player reference for rules. I provide music in foundry and have experience playing in this VTT.
