🏴‍☠️ Skull & Shackles 2e 🏴‍☠️ | Pirate Campaign | 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 | New Players Welcome!

About the adventure

There's adventure to be had on the high seas when a group of press-ganged strangers seizes a ship and becomes embroiled in the plots and politics of the Shackles—an infamous island chain dominated by pirate warlords. But as these new swashbucklers make names for themselves, rival scalawags, enemy navies, legendary sea monsters, and the infamous Hurricane King himself seek to see them walk the plank. Who will survive when there's glory to plunder? Players of all experience levels welcome!

Gameplay details

Whilst there is never truly a 'typical' session, I always do my best to ensure that sessions are as relaxed and as informal as I can - because I find this fosters a much kinder and easy-going environment - where people can be themselves and have some fun. This campaign is a Nautical/Pirate campaign where the players will be immersed in a full pirate setting including all of the tropes that come along with that. The players will be pirates and expected to commit acts of piracy on the high seas as game mechanics, attacking merchant vessels to steal their cargo and treasure. Whilst Good aligned characters are possible, the players will be partaking in piracy and should be prepared for their characters to veer towards Neutral/Evil alignments. There will be a 10-15 minute break around the midway point of the session, around 2 hours into the 4 hour goal. I pride myself on providing a safe space for anyone at my table, and I try to make sure that I am available as a person and a friend to my players, not just a DM, and any behaviour, language or actions that makes other players feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unwelcome will not be tolerated, and players found to be in breach of this will be removed in the interest of others. If at any point any player is uncomfortable with any of the content or the experience of the game, they are free to make this known to myself and the rest of the group in any way that is comfortable for them without any fear of judgement, then as a group we would discuss this and how to proceed.
