:p Sounds good.

In other news, I found my Neverwinter Campaign book. I'll pick through it and see how much there is on coastal towns.
Should we make a primary antagonistic force that is directly affecting us throughout the roleplay? Or should it be more open?

Maybe like a government/navy that is an overarching foe, but day-to-day it should be open.

Well. Neverwinter setting is perfect. Coastal massive city with outlying ports and small villages. Lord Protector of the city(Neverwinter) runs an authoritarian dictatorship that oppresses the people and suppresses free will(antithesis of the pirating life). We can take liberties with islands and perhaps craft another one or two big cities to jump from hub-to-hub.

What tech level are we thinking? Regular high-fantasy medieval?

Yea on the tech. Maybe a singular faction with steam power, but that's a heavy maybe.

Okay, so no cannons on the ships. It'd probably be more ballistae/greek fire/ramming. Gotcha.

Cannons are in that era. Flintlock muskets/pistols, maybe not. The larger versions are easier to maintain.

Righto. Magic, I assume, will be in heavy use.

Should we just have it be a regular pirate fleet? Or should we have all of our characters drawn to the fleet due to some outside force? I think it'd be cool if they were all cursed souls or something.

Mages can be on board. Though there will definitely be less magicians than normal fighters.

I like regular. But whatever. I have a way to make my character work either way.

Regular could probably work. Perhaps we could originally be part of a larger fleet of privateers hired by Lord Protector of Neverwinter? Our characters are all familiar - at least vaguely so - with each other at the start of the roleplay. However, in a stunning display of betrayal, whilst we are docked in port, the Lord Protector sends his soldiers to "take care" of the fleet. The three ships that remain, our ships, are the only survivors.

Now that I like.

RP can start with the attack and the opening sequence can end with us setting off while be shot at by port cannons.

Okay. Now we need some other cities other than Neverwinter.

Here's a really high-res map of the entire continent. Neverwinter is in the Northwest region, by the Sword Coast.

Edit: I forgot the link :lol2: now it's there.

Agreed. It's large enough that it provides a good map. Any way to edit it so that we only see those two regions?
