Hoist the Colours – A Pirate RPG
H'okay, so here's the world. It's a world filled with PIRATES! Well, not really; pirates only make up a small percentage of the population. Otherwise, who would there be to pirate from? Other pirates? Counter-productive society, that.
Anyway, think of the world that we see in Pirates of the Caribbean, or Treasure Island, or even the Dreamworks version of Sinbad. It's a cutthroat, dirty world, but there's an element of adventure and romance to this life on the high seas. The world of this RPG is a reflection, an embodiment if you will, of the spirit of all those pirate movies we've seen and loved. The locations are fictional, and the world may not be in any specific time period in real history, but it's a fairly universal pirate setting. We have ports of call, ships, a royal navy, smugglers, and of course PIRATES. What more could you want?
Well, we also have a touch of the supernatural. "Here thar be monsters," and all that. Kraken and sea serpents are just as real as whales, Davy Jones may be more than just a legend, and you'd best keep an eye out (and your ears plugged!) for sirens. Curses are not to be taken lightly, and an oath broken can bring about terrible consequences.
So, hoist the midden and weigh anchor, because you're about to go on your own adventure. It's just over that next horizon...
