 Poison'd PBP(Mature)
I really want to try out Poison'd. Anybody interested in playing? If you don't know, it's a game about pirates, sins, brutality, and ambitions. It is a mature themed game but if we watch ourselves, and follow the forum's rules for decency, I think we can avoid being cos'd. I'll run for a max of 5 players and will take newcomers(as this my first time myself) and veterans alike. Every game starts out the same:
In this the Year of Our Lord 1701, did end the bloody career of the pirate Captain Jonathan Abraham Pallor, called Brimstone Jack. He did not die on the gallows, nor by the sword, nor shot in two by cannon. He died of poison, administered to him by his cook, an assassin under the King’s orders. This is what happened next.
Drag forward the cook, the assassin Tom Reed, throw him to the deck. He’s spitting and proclaiming us dead men all, no captain no more, ship listing and hungry, and His Majesty’s Ship the Resolute even now hauls up its anchor over in Kingston Bay.
So let's make characters. If you've played before then you can make your character up to the outstanding bargins point. If not let me know and I will walk everyone through the process.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
Oooooooh! I am interested, but if you get five folks who already know the rules, I'm happy to just watch.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
The game is dirt simple(20 pages or so), you have 6 stats and character creaion is all done by selecting items off lists. You sure you just wanna be on the 'maybe' list?

Put me down as good to go, then.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
Okay let start making your character. First off as you know every PC’s a pirate. So choose your character’s position under Brimstone Jack: (here's the list from the book) Boatswain (“bosun” – sails, rigging, anchor, cables; also the day to day work of the crew) Boy (light labor, service & training) Carpenter (the soundness of the ship’s masts, yards, boats & hull, patching holes under fire) Gunnery Master (the ship’s cannons, powder & balls; the gunnery crew) Quartermaster (the ship’s purse, books & accounts, and the provisioning & quartering of the company) Sailing Master (navigation and steering the ship) Sailor (manual labor, gunnery, fighting) Surgeon (medical care of all on board) X’s Mate (eg Boatswain’s Mate, Captain’s Mate, Carpenter’s Mate, Cook’s Mate)
Next we have to determine Soul and Devil stats so which of the following sins has your character committed? Choose none, one, any or all: Adultery Blasphemy Idolatry Murder Mutiny Rape Robbery Sodomy You may count a sin twice, if your character’s commission of it has been prolonged, repeated, excessive, and unremorseful, and continues to be so even now. Count it blasphemy if your character is a woman living, acting, and dressing the man. Count it twice blasphemy only if she has also somehow contrived to fuck women as a man. Devil is equal to the number of sins you’ve chosen. However, if you’ve chosen more sins than six, Devil is still 6, and if you’ve chosen fewer than two, it’s still 2. Soul is equal to 8 minus Devil.
From the description you've given, goatunit, I'd say your official job was quartermaster, as typically they were in charge of discipline, and assessing punishment for violators of the code. They also were in charge of leading the boarding parties and could veto the captain's orders when not in combat or chasing a prize. The description in the list was more for navy or merchant quartermasters.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
Also keep this in mind when choosing stats:
If you want your pirate to treat personal danger casually and without fear, choose a higher Devil than Ambition. If you want your pirate to prefer cunning, stealth, and deceit, choose a higher Ambition than Brutality. If you want your pirate to be ruthless, conscienceless and violent, choose a higher Brutality than Soul. If you want you pirate to endure punishment and torture without breaking, or to be calm and skilled in chaos, choose a higher Soul than Devil. The greater the difference, the better your pirate will be at that thing – but of course the worse your pirate will be at the thing that follows.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
Next step in character creation is Brutality:
Which of the following has your character suffered? Choose any or all, but at least one: Accursing Arrest Attempted murder Beating Branding Damnation Disownment Impressment Imprisonment Lashing Mutilation Rape Torture Mark an X next to any your character suffered at the hands of Captain Brimstone Jack. Brutality is equal to the number you’ve chosen. However, if you’ve chosen more than six, Brutality is still 6; if you’ve chosen only one, it’s still 2.

 Re: Poison'd PBP(Mature)
And the next step is picking your ambition stat: From which of the following ambitions does your character take strength? Choose any or all, but at least one: To be captain To own land To be pardoned To be revenged upon (here name another player’s pirate) To be revenged upon (here name a man beyond your station) To fuck (here name another player’s pirate) To fuck (here name the daughter or son of a man beyond your station) To spit in the eye of God To spit in the eye of the devil To live forever To be remembered forever To be regarded highly by society Ambition is equal to the number you’ve chosen. However, if you’ve chosen more than six, Ambition is still 6; if you’ve chosen only one, it’s still 2.
